Common sense... it's doge or trump... We've never seen mass attacks like this, all of a sudden a guy comes around bragging that he's going to cut the federal jobs like crazy, carries a chainsaw around boasting about cuts, calls every government service ponzi schemes and useless.

How dumb does anyone have to be to buy it if he says "oh that wasn't me". He can't even make a fall guy. You can't blame the democrats on this one... they don't have an ounce of power.

Yeah, the VA just decided to wipe out 70k people at the same time DOGE is trying to fire everyone in every department? No one is going to believe that stupid fucking excuse. Well, their base might, but they never learned critical thinking due to religious indoctrination and a general lack of public education.

So basically only trump voting people believe?

That are quite a lot..

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You have to be able to ignore everything reality is showing you to trust the propaganda those voters swallow willingly without a second thought

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Yes, and it is so scary, they seem like they turned off their brain completely 🥲

If just educating system of US would not suck.. maybe that would have mitigated this issue 🤔

What did he cut that he now regrets?

His hair. Everything else he doesn't regret cutting, he just doesn't like that he's not being idolized for it.

Ah, he's pulling a card from the CCP playbook. You can do whatever you want as long as you can look the public straight in the eyes and firmly deny doing something, while actively doing it.

His cringe "trolling" is backfiring since naming it DOGE ensured that it will forever be connected to him.

This fucker literally posed with a chainsaw on stage, and now he's saying he's not responsible for the cuts.

Billionaire unelected bureaucrat. FTFY

[–] redundantgrouch@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Bureaucrat implies unelected.

[–] lemminator@lemmy.today 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Does it? TIL I always thought it meant "official" or some such, but had no bearing on whether they were elected or not

[–] Draces@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

an official in a government department, in particular one perceived as being concerned with procedural correctness at the expense of people's needs.

I'm starting to think they made it up

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

concerned with procedural correctness at the expense of people's needs.

Irregardless, that describes the exact opposite of Elon. He's concerned with personal compensation at the expense of people's needs.
