A kakistocracy is a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens.
The Republican Party has spent decades destroying the competence, character, principles, morals, ethics, and reliability of our government, which is really supposed to be there to do the people's work.
Kevin McCarthy, the great Republican empty suit with nary a thought in his mind, desperately seeks the Speakership and wants to be Lord of the GOP House Flies.
If Republicans bring this much chaos to even electing a speaker, they cannot be counted on to fulfill the body’s basic responsibilities let alone the more complex tasks. Kevin McCarthy has already promised to refuse to fulfill the body's basic responsibilities. He and his supporters seek to disrupt and defame, not govern.
This is what happens you vote Republican.
The real reason the chaos in the House should scare us-

@TonyStark House leadership has been determined by money (donors) since LBJ.
This current situation makes sense given the nihilism of libertarian donors. If authoritarian regimes finance Republicans, that would also make sense as US ineffectiveness benefits them. Though technically illegal, I'm not sure policing of finance is effective given Citizens United.
Someone likes McCarthy. His attribute is money (donors). But, perhaps, money (donors) are happy with failed US governance.
