If so, how do you defend this position?

based on clear and intentional decisions you libs have made, there is now a gulf between us such that you no longer count as human.

there is no appealing to us, or rationalizing with us, or engaging us. youre not a person. we would no more justify trump or his decisions to you than we would to a rodent

youre simply not a part of the conversation

How would you respond to the OP question if it were posed by a Trumpmo, or do you deny that it's physically possible for a Trumpmo to produce that sequence of words?

i would suggest that "merit" may be misunderstood on a board of frustrated middle aged lawyers who built their whole lives around scheming to maximize their standardized test scores and be admitted to the most prestigious schools, and that trump is likely very much making selections on merit, as he understands the task of the job.

And that objections like, "But this person went to a TTT and lacks 8 years of lived experience as a transgender person" may indeed miss the mark of understanding what, in fact, merits appointment.

And that, finally, Trump has earned 100000x the benefit of our doubt.

To the rodent-lib, I just smile

OK, so the conservative arguments for putting unqualified people in charge at the highest levels of government are:

1. meritocracy doesn’t exist / is impossible (?)

2. people without experience are actually BETTER than people with experience (lol)

3. libs don’t promote qualified candidates, so we shouldn’t have to either (whattaboutism)

4. Actually these candidates are really good and qualified (lol)

If your whole point is to get rid of the status quo you don't hire people with tons of experience implementing the status quo. These people have relevant skills and experience, just not the ones you prefer because you want a completely different result. But we hate you and don't care about what you want. HTFH.
