If you have lived life in republic where people voting to touch the stove has never had profound, understood negative material impact because it was managed away – something was already broken and someway possibly inevitable. Break the feedback loop of a market or idea, you eventually break it all.

This is such an important facet of a much larger idea but it is so misunderstood on its own I might just delete this. Resentment of a "deep state" is downstream of legislature that rules by omnibus bill with no votes for ideas or policy. Leaving a state trying to continue in absence of a pillar.

I remember reading a theory article making the case that "pork barrel" and "they're all corrupt" normalization played a major part in freezing the legislature. If everything is corruption and pork barrels you can't negotiate giving a defense contrast to one state in return for more medicare budget
