Follow the money, bet it leads to overseas bank accounts. No one would be this upset unless they're about to lose a shite ton of money.

Why Are the Lefties Against DOGE?

I don't know if they are against DOGE per se, but I know a lot are against immigrants being deported that have been here for 20 years.

As for DOGE.. unless we talk in person to actual people from the left, do we really know if they are for or against DOGE?

We can't trust what MSM says about it.. They are paid by the left and they will control the narrative that they want to push. In addition, we have funded bots and trolls across the planet to go against anything and everything..

It's hard to know what to believe or what not to believe anymore.. it's only going to get worse with AI on the horizon imo..

1) US government printed more money than previously existed to bail out the economy on several occasions
2) inflation increases by less than the influx
Of money
3) people developed the belief that the money supply and inflation aren’t directly linked
4) government felt better and better about spending more than it had
5) people felt better and better about the government spending more than it had because “helping” people makes them feel good (and like they’re the ones doing it when the government does it because they pay some amount of tax, even if only basically just at the local level)
6) these people don’t realize the unsustainable path that government spending and the future of the USD is on
7) they view any cutting of any benefit that anyone in the world gets as cruel, truly divorced from the idea that it is money that we don’t have (that is being printed and causing the price of their daily life to increase)

Seems I have to say this every other day on this board:

If it's my guy, it's ok.
If it's not my guy, it's not ok.

That is politics in a nutshell.

How was the left correct about the Vietnam war? They started it.


You're right that LBJ and his cronies started the war. I'm talking about rank-and-file lefties. They were against it.

In fact, that's probably why LBJ was forced to announce in March, 1968 that he was dropping out of the presidential race. Eugene McCarthy had virtually come out of nowhere to receive 40% of the vote in New Hampshire.

I've seen lefties here mocking DOGE. Decatur was knocking DOGE earlier this afternoon.

I havent seen a single post from any left-wing person here that was supportive of DOGE. Not a single post.

Trump and Elon could cure 715 babies from deadly diseases and they’d still find a way to complain about it


I mean that with all my heart, no exaggeration

If Biden had ever done what Trump is doing, I would've supported it 100%.

But Biden is a senile old crook who only did the bidding of the Deep State and Globalism.

So, you don't have a core set of beliefs and values? You simply go by (D) or (R)?

No doubt. Crenshaw, McConnell, Lizard Cheney, etc. etc. That's why I'm ecstatic to hear "money people" like Elon and Nicole Shanahan talking about primarying those who are compromised and corrupt.

They have been stealing money from the Govt. for 50 years.

Now they are stealing money and openly supporting Satanic activity

If I were them I would oppose it too.

It’s not complicated

Throw in a bakers dozen of Rinos also

1) They’re only against government waste in the hypothetical. Never in actuality.

2) They’ve told themselves for so long that it would be impossible to shrink the size of government that they now believe it.

That is fine and dandy but I want more than that. Bring on the DOJ and let’s test out Guantanamo prisoner capacity.

who in their right mind wants their hard-earned tax dollars to be wasted because of corruption?


When those tax dollars are going back to them, their campaigns, their causes and propaganda, they don’t see it as being wasted.
