The Trump administration is slashing $15 million worth of DEI grants in the Institute of Museum and Library Services as part of its overall DOGE efforts.
Your question is whataboutism and a logical fallacy.
I’m not comparing with Democrats or anything the Democrats did or didn’t do. The Democrats are just as awful as the Republicans because they all belong to the fat-cat politician class, but with one crucial difference: they’re not fucking fascists.
But I digress. This is beside the point.
The point is: Trump and his South African backer pretend to go after waste and they don’t. If they did, DOGE would be busy gutting the Pentagon instead of USAID. But they’re not doing that. In fact, they just gave the Pentagon more pork.
He’s wrecking stuff that the rich don’t have their grubby fingers into - like Social Security, VOA, USAID and other poor people stuff - and leaving the military-industrial complex they make money out of intact. No significant amount of waste is being eliminated.
The Democrat didn’t do jack shit. I agree. The Republicans are doing worse, is my point: what they’re really doing is stealing from the poor to give to the rich, as always, but at level 11.
Every little bit helps. So you think we should just let 15 million dollars go to waste just becuase it not 1.2 trillion dollars?! Say wat m8?!
No, I think we should go after the real money wasters first: the military.
Then we should go after the billionaires and tax the shit out of them.
Only then should we go after insignificant sources of waste.
Ok, then how come the Democrats never did that when they had all the power?

And my point is he’s doing more than the democrats did the entire time they had all the power.
He is not and you know it.

He is though.
Just like the Democrats did.
They aren’t tho. They are eliminating more waste than the Dems did.
