The point is to erode trust in institutions. It destroys democracy. So there really is no win here unless these are reversed if we ever return to a democracy.
I’m curious as well. And while I applaud the (hopefully short-term) end-run around an institution that has been poisoned by conservatives, I hope we can return to norms one day.
The short-term effort is needed because the alternative is lots and lots of people dying needlessly.
Okay and? If people respect and trust state level institutions while federal institutions are reviled id consider that a win at this point. It’s probably easier and faster just to rip the US apart and start working on a series of new systems, personally I’m rather fond of a North American Union that stretches from the Darien Gap to the Arctic circle.

A lot of these institutions were deeply flawed anyway. We can build our own but better.
What was flawed about the CDC prior to Trump?
