This. The first time Trump was president he had plenty of qualified people in his cabinet and administration. That's because he didn't expect to win and wasn't prepared. Establishment Republicans helped him with his picks. This time around, he's staffing his administration with MAGA sycophants who are, by definition, in the cult or are doing a good pretending to be. What normal person would work for him?[/quote]

Yep.  And Elon has announced that he will bankroll primary challenges to any Republican in Congress who dares question any of Dear Leader's choices.
And this is how the slow roll to autocracy starts . . . 
I listened recently to historian Anne Applebaum (a former R) who has studied autocracies (both on far left and far right) and she said that one of the indicators of a slide into authoritarianism is that no matter how insane a statement or position taken by the Dear Leader---his party apparatchiks and media-sphere offer no criticism or questioning.  If Trump says the sun rises in the west, then Tucker/Shapiro/MTG/Lindsay Graham et al will all tell us that we cannot believe our eyes or compasses . . . You know, like "They're eating the pets!"
