The article uses the metaphor of a child's tantrum to describe the current state of American politics, particularly the destructive acts against the administrative state. It suggests that understanding these actions offers limited insight, as they stem from deeply entrenched delusions about the public and private sectors. The piece argues that these delusions lead to contempt for public service and misguided priorities, fueled by influential figures and a toxic political environment. Ultimately, it emphasizes the futility of trying to rationalize such behaviors.

There are some identifiable things at work, here, but identifying and understanding them only really does so much.
