Here's a funny take on what many Americans would like to see happen, at least metaphorically:

No doubt many Americans would enjoy videos of this really happening in various govt offices. It would be more entertaining for spectators than simply handing out pink slips. OTOH, it would be just as effective & satisfying of a bunch the swamp critters would leave on their own.

Vivek on Maria Bartiromo discussing how he will lead DOGE to make the needed cuts in government

So many ineffective unnecessary harmful programs should be cut wholesale and cold turkey

They/them can then work in a private sector job

Get it done Vivek🙏 pic.twitter.com/bOxY0WUxug

That graph makes it very clear that the administrative jobs (bureaucracy) are mostly parasitic. It's also clear why health care is more expensive, health care quality has gone down, & some people cannot afford insurance. The primary culprit for these problems over the past decade: Obamacare (aka the Unaffordable Care Act, an accurate label when the official name is a lie).

Every time the government touches something they make it worse. This happens primarily through exploding bureaucracies & regulations, both of which add to costs while detracting from the primary task.

The government does not create. It destroys.

It was always more about the FBI, CIA, etc than Trump supporters. The Gestapo instigated the "riot" & the fascist politicians & media milked it for all its worth ever since. They only used the label "insurrection" because of the 14th amendment. They only care about the constitution when they can abuse it to push their unconstitutional agenda.

Elon is spot on here. The machine was on the verge of hegemony,

Peter Thiel: I didn't want to believe Elon but then it was the sense in which I felt he was correct: if Trump could not win in 2024 against The Machine, The Machine would always win — And if The Machine always wins, you no longer have a democracy.
