The quote in the headline was from a quote from Dawn Beattie, a state committee member in an article about the Michigan Republican Party. (https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/20/politics/michigan-gop-financial-turmoil-infighting-invs/index.html).
My first thought was, is an "incompetent dumpster fire" better or worse than a ""competent dumpster fire"? (Youth wants to know.)
It is remarkable that Joel Studebaker, the party’s deputy chief of staff, was quoted as saying “We come to the table with almost no political experience and we don’t view that as a bad thing, but it does increase the learning curve in terms of politics.”
The article makes it appear that the party is riven with factions accusing each other of conspiracies.
My own take is that it makes it more obvious that politics is reflective of a national mental health crisis.
