    That alone is so telling to me:

    One: it’s obviously projection as it always is. Which means we can expect previously mundane regulatory agencies beefed up in ways that make no sense with regards to enforcing what’s in their purview, in order to carry out dirty tasks like this. This is a self-report. They’re telling us exactly what they want to do with our federal agencies.

    Two: it’s just more indication of how easy it is going to be for the Republicans to “dismantle the administrative state” (literally their own words). If this is how their base thinks regulatory agencies operate, then it’s going to be real fucking easy to convince any who aren’t already onboard to get rid of them entirely.
