DOGE (the Department of Government Evisceration) is carrying out the most foolish, thoughtless, callous, de-humanizing, destructive, and disastrous action in American history. Nothing our government has ever done equals it for sheer lunacy and cruelty. And yet, so far, the political party supporting the men doing it are standing by in cowardice, looking desperately the other way and praying to god they won’t suffer for it in the next election, but unwilling to put an end to it, which they could.
Indeed they could have put an end to it before it ever got started if they’d done their clear duty during the impeachment trial following January 6th.
The two oligarchs doing it will not be paying any of the price for what they are doing.
This is the result of far too many Americans knowing and/or caring next to nothing about what their government actually does, how it helps people both at home and abroad, the vast width and depth of the sea of misinformation and lies behind DOGE’s actions, or the terrible flawed characters of the men who have set it in motion.
Well done, MAGA! You are successfully doing exactly the opposite of Making American Great.
I just finished a call with a ACLU attorney. I was looking for what a citizen can do to stop Trumps anti democracy actions. I want to sue him for treason. He told me that nothing can be done because he hasn’t broken any laws and that Trumps support is greater than Obama’s. It was a very disturbing call. He had no interest in addressing Trumps actions.
This is dangerous.
