   "[DOGE] feels like it should collapse under the weight of its own contradictions. But it doesn’t, because it was never meant to make sense. It’s basically all kayfabe — that peculiar form of theatrical fakery where the audience chooses to believe despite knowing better. The difference is that unlike wrestling, where the fakery is harmless entertainment, this performance is actively destroying what had been the most amazing democracy and economy on the planet."

     If you want evidence that the US left has no desire to build back better, the continual US Exceptionalism spouted by them is an indication.

     The planet is just as doomed if it is lead by the MAGA or the neoliberals. The only difference is which faction in the US benefits from that demise.
