What do you think the effect of DOGE will be?

[Raynine]

The amount of corruption in government is so deep that trust is dead. It isn’t just the Democratic Party that is on life support, it is the ‘Swamp” that the current president talks about. The entire system is close to collapsing due to the corruption and exposing it does little but confirm what people already know. The rats are steering the ship and have been for a long time. I don’t think this can be fixed. I know now why people rise up. Sometimes you just have to take all the rats out and start over. I think that might be coming because history has a way of repeating itself. There might be a fatal flaw in humanity that can’t be self-corrected. Keep a low profile and take care of yourself because no one else will.

That is my extreme take on what could happen.

I predict DOGE will do a lot of good, will change hearts and minds, will send prominent Democrats to prison and will turn a lot of people against Democrats for a long time. It will be a watershed event for America. But to make this happen, the Marxis media has to be stopped. Trump has two years to make a huge impact, and I think he'll be able to do it.

In the end, mostly zero.

That is very optimistic. Do you think people will just expect tomorrow to be like yesterday and hope things sort themselves out without taking any personal action? That might be why things are the way they are and will not change.

1. Say that DOGE documents 100,000 things that need to be fixed. Say 50,000 of them involve crimes that need to be investigated and charged.
2. Will congress be able to pass legislation to fix the 100,000 items or not?
3. Will Pam Bondi and the DOJ and FBI be able to get 50,000 indictments issued?
4. Will Trump be able to issue EOs to speed up many of the 100,000 items?

DOGE is the biggest upgrade the Federal government has ever had. Can Trump make it happen, or will time run out?

 

[Polishprince]

Tough to say. The D's are rallying hard against government efficiency, and might well prevail.

Maybe if they gather on the National Mall for an insurrection again the idea and rally the forces of inefficiency?

 

[shockedcanadian]

It depends on if the GOP want to win the Mid Terms and place themselves in a enviable position in 2028.

They can openly ask questions about the money and its sources. Media will try to avoid questions focusing instead of tariffs so it is up to the GOP to continue to ask questions.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

The effect if Doge will increase the sales of laundry detergent.



Bed wetting among Democrats is already at an all time high.

The way the democrats are acting - even fighting to keep violent criminal illegal aliens in America - once Trump’s term is up, we will get another 4 years, or 8, with Trump’s successor.

Me?

As long as Trump keeps up the excellent work and doesn't go off the rails with his Gaza Resort, or his Crypto bullshit, or if congress can't or won't implement all of Elon's and DOGE's recommendations to fix the country's finances.
2026 and 2028 will be GOP rollovers if Pam Bondi can prosecute the democrats for stealing billions of US tax dollars, and the "free press" documents the prosecutions fairly.

And of course it also depends on what idiot the Dems put up. Thus far, they have NOBODY.

The state of the government was the only way Democrats enriched themselves.

First of all, the mainstream media is not Marxist. Second, stopping it would violate the First Amendment.

Trump is now the swamp, and Elon is getting richer with tax dollars as he heads DOGE, and he has fired all the investigations on his products and actions. No surprise you think this corruption is Ok, stupid much?

Donald enriched himself as president.

Do you even know what a Marxist is? When I was in college, I read some of the early Marx. I have read The Communist Manifesto on several occasions.

Manifesto of the Communist Party

After I graduated from college, I took a fascinating seminar on Das Kapital under the aegis of the American Communist Party. The leader of the seminar was a brilliant member of the CPUSA. He was a physicist. In addition to his day job, and leading the seminar, he was translating a book from Russian to Swedish on behalf of the Soviet government.

I already owned most of the books on the reading list. These included all three volumes of Das Kapital, and an anthology of essays by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. These had been printed in Moscow by Progress Publishers.

My father, who was an economist, looked at the reading list and said, "The leader of the seminar knows a lot about economics."

On the basis of my knowledge of Marxism, which may exceed yours, I believe he had two valid insights, and that he was mistaken about everything else. I see no value in the writing of Valdimir Lenin.

I read a political thinker for insight, rather than dogma. I agree with Edmund Burke, and disagree with Marx, in believing that there is often wisdom in tradition.

The point of DOGE is to purge the government of Trump haters. I'm not sure how effective it will be.
