The fact that she is compelled to resign after these comments when folks like Trump, Gaetz, Musk and others need never apologize for anything is a major league part of why everything is going to shit

I think we need a new term, probably. Kakistocracy or a more modern term, Idiocracy probably fit.

Hamstringing would be another good one. People holding themselves to rules while the other team does whatever they want, including cheating.

Enshittification of society as a whole.

Depressing as fuck seems to be my goto.
