Have you ever noticed how quickly highway guardrails are repaired if they are damaged in a wreck? Potholes can remain for an eternity, but guardrails are seen as essential in saving thousands of lives each year. If you’ve ever driven on a winding mountain road that lacks guardrails, you can attest that it’s easy to take them for granted until they’re not there.
Now that we are approaching two months in to the Trump presidency, it’s become increasingly apparent that we are about to lose, or have already lost, some crucial government guardrails that functioned so effectively we didn’t even think what life would be like without them.
Despite the expected changes that occur when a Democratic administration is followed by a Republican administration, the guardrails are disappearing in an almost scattershot pattern that should concern liberal and conservative voters alike.
