The irony is that Trump won on a message of "drain the swamp" which was supposed to address this issue. Instead it seems like it's more of just "replace the swamp" with his own guys.

I think the swamp has been expanded more than replaced.

The message is just "swamp!" now.

Every accusation from Republicans, without exception, is either a confession, a plan, or an unfulfilled wish.

Another point of irony: Elon was tasked with "draining" the swamp and the left immediately goes to burn Teslas.

For me, when someone promises to "drain the swamp", they reveal their ignorance and selfishness with their shallow anti-swamp ideology.

Swamps are rich ecosystems with incredible natural beauty and diversity. Draining a swamp is extraordinarily bad in general, even if good for wealthy property developers.

Ironically, it seems that "drain the swamp" turns out to be an apt metaphor for what Trump and that gang have been doing, as promised.

The swamp has always been him and his buddies. Pure projection. Everything he spouts is always pure projection.

It’s not even ironic. Trump never genuinely intended to do so, and anybody with a brain never trusted them to do so either. Just another case of “every accusation an admission” in the case of the leaders, and “it’s only bad when it’s not our guy doing it” in the case of the followers.
