One point of the terrible nominees is to depress people into passivity.
"As I argued last week when Trump started rolling out his troll-nominations, the Achilles heel of authoritarians is they confuse power and domination, and end up struggling to hold a coalition together. When they were focused on defeating a common enemy — Democrats — Republicans were able to set aside their differences to get Trump over the electoral line. But now that he's won, the fractures are starting to show. Even more importantly, Trump doesn't know how to bring different factions to the table to compromise. Instead, his every instinct is to set people against one another in a never-ending contest to curry his favor. That's great for his ego, but it is not, thankfully, how to get stuff done. "
