  King Putin is happily destroying the us and its institutions. Rfk was put there to destroy the US dominance, trust, and effectiveness on health. Most in the U.S. and the world, respect the FDA, the NIH, etc. to the extent that many defer to American regulations as the principal guide for other countries’ regulations.

  Institutions have power. When the president tries to do something stupid, people from the institution can resist. And since the general public trust institutions, that gives the institution power to create problems for the administration. By ruining the institution, you break that power and therefore break their ability to resist you. This is a very important part of fascist strategy. They’re doing it to the press. They’re doing it to research and development, to NASA. They’re doing it to all environmental agencies. Regulatory bodies, etc.
