is DOGE going to be politically sustainable at this point under its proposed leadership?
@interfluidity
Define “politically sustainable”?
@paninid will the MAGA base, and the Congresspeople who fear it, give DOGE the benefit of the doubt, be willing to defer to, embrace to recommendations, or will they become hostile to it and render implementation toxic?
@paninid if it becomes clear it will be the latter, why bother even with the exercise?
So, the definition of “politics” is of fear and loss aversion.
Methinks that as long as The Others™ suffer worse, the toxic implementations are sustainable.
I’m tempted to think that as long as The Others™ remain muted and stoic, and the base suffers, sustainability diminishes.
