    And honestly the whole RAGE from Curtis Yarvin sounds a lot smarter and more marketable as a catchy phrase. Going with DOGE is just an edgelord move, but Musk is the best example of one I’ve ever seen. It drives me nuts that it seems like so few people actually think it’s dumb in real life.

      People in real life don’t know shit about the government or anything that’s going on but they all know the latest tv commercials.

      Meanwhile I’m sure most of you reading this are like “who watches tv to see the commercials?!” Yea. They do.

      That’s because they don’t know where the name DOGE came from; all they think it means is “Department of Government Efficiency.” If they knew it was from a meme of just a picture of a dog that started having people saying “dog” in a weird way, I’m sure they also would find it incredibly stupid.
