What DOGE is doing has happened in China 10 years ago. Instead of “fighting corruption” they claim “government efficiency”, but the ultimate goal is to silence and destroy any opposition. Because bureaucracy is inherently universally corrupted, to some extent, and the US has tons of laws at the DOJ’s disposal. That is Xi’s playbook to solidify his power and I am afraid Trump may be using the same one. I certainly hope we won’t be going down that road but to be honest I am not bery optimistic.
