Currently on the federal level, "DOGE" is defunding contracts, institutions, so on and so forth the un-fun way: the fascist way.
Defunding can be a wonderful thing when done with the proletariat in mind, but when left in the hands of Neo_badguys, defunding is never helpful. They will destroy and defund "helpful" institutions like the FAA and CDC but never the corrupt and unhelpful law enforcement.
When the chips are down, say in a snow storm, cops will literally be touted as heroes when the best they can do is put their lights on and block or contain and accident. Listen in as Spencer rants about so many other plausible solutions other than this.
When fascists take control of the purse strings it's never good for the 99% of us. We keep us safe.
