Summary
A new Economist/YouGov poll shows Americans favor many government programs over Elon Musk and his DOGE, which is working to slash federal spending.
The CFPB (50% approval), EPA (61%), and USAID (46%) were all viewed more positively than DOGE (42%).
Even the IRS’s free tax-filing program received strong support (63%). Musk himself had a 42% favorable and 52% unfavorable rating.
The findings show that government programs remain widely valued by the public.
42% still ok with Elon taking his axe to any organisation set up to help people in order to make the billionaires richer.
It’s hard not to take the attitude that Americans deserve everything they get.
Probably a good number of people who aren’t directly affected by the cuts… Yet. Something us Americans seem to lack a lot of is sympathy/empathy. Unless it strikes close to home, a lot of people are pretty callous to the plight of others.
The US exports “I’m alright, Jack.” By the fucking container ship. But of course the average American lacks empathy, Fox has been feeding the population toxic shit for decades, while his ilk buy off politicians.
That’s what set the stage for the right wing coup you’re living through.
The demon responsible has his crooked fingers in the politics of the UK and Australia, to name just a couple of other places going to shit off the back of his pipeline of awful shite.
Rupert Murdoch should be shot into the fucking sun, alongside the orange shitgibbon and his pet nazi techbro.
Listen to the How Conservatism Won podcast by Behind the bastards. It goes back further, but this is all a part of a grand plan. Melon is just taking advantage of the situation, also for his own personal gain of course.
