“He’s finished, done, gone. He polls terrible. People hate him,” an anonymous source close to the Republican Party told Politico. “He’d go to Wisconsin thinking he can buy people’s votes, wear the cheese hat, act like a 9-year-old. … It doesn’t work. It’s offensive to people.”
LOL - What if I told you that is not DOGE’s mission and it never was?
The whole point of DOGE was to make federal employees AFRAID. That’s it, and in that, and only that, they have been supremely effective:

This has been the stated purpose from the beginning. If you believe otherwise, then you missed them telling you this:

“We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected,” Vought said in a video revealed by ProPublica and the research group Documented in October. “When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work, because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down … We want to put them in trauma.”
As always, the cruelty is the point. It’s NEVER been about efficiency.
You didn’t link anything that disproves DOGE’s mission. The reason for the wasteful spending is because of corrupt government officials. In order to cut spending, you have to deal with the cronies who are behind that wasteful spending.
Like every failed Republic before, we’re on train tracks. We know how this all ends. Whether you like it or not, DOGE was the last chance to save the system.
Again, it’s not about spending and never has been. It’s about making people afraid. Pay attention when they tell you this, if you buy the lies then you are complicit:

Cutting the funding is how they make people afraid. It’s the tool, not the goal.
Again you’re not linking anything that disproves DOGE’s mission. The cronies behind the wasteful spending and fraud have to be held accountable. Otherwise you aren’t actually cutting spending.
I’ve told you twice, you’re just refusing to see it. The goal of the Trump administration is to inspire fear. Full stop. Federal workers, immigrants, students, business owners, it’s all fear all the time.
It’s not about the budget or efficiency and it never has been. Thinking otherwise is delusional.

Well TBF, I think they also existed to cover up the money that was being stolen to pour into these AI data centers, but disguise that missing money as “savings.” Pretty sure they thought they would be able to make so much money so quickly, that they would just be able to replace it before anyone realized all of those “savings” numbers were just bullshit.
Not that they ever planned to actually bring any of the jobs back, but likely thought they could replace the money that was stolen and then just automate those jobs anyway bc AI is apparently magic
