Of course it's their mission. They want to destroy the US to rebuild them to their liking.

The higher mission is offering up the ashes to those who paid for them to burn it.

DOGE is a distraction while others take away our freedom and tear down our Democracy. Hail to the king indeed.

almost as if they were an attack, a hacking of the system by a foreign power and implanting ransomware to destroy the country

We need American heroes to save us. I think they are out there. 🤞it wouldn't hurt if our foreign, democratic allies help too. Wouldn't that be something new? Not repeating the bad parts of history.

Part of the plan is to eviscerate democracy so that no one can hold them accountable. Therefore, why should they care if they burn it down? They will just remain in power. The main feature of an autocracy is the corruption.

As an outsider watching this from Europe, it looks like a full scale attack. The US military is way to big for any other country to warrant attacking physically, so they're attacking by destroying the country's institutions and societal structures, driving the country towards collapse. Putin.

Yeah we’re fucked for sure. Feels like watching a tsunami approaching from the shore and nobody in the town realizes it’s coming.

Sadly that comparison is all too accurate.

It’s frightening how many people are standing around watching while he implodes every single thing about our government.

the usa going straight to a Third world Country.
in the next years, when doge is not stopped.

and not forgotten, trump has all his allies declared to foe's

This should not be a surprise. Bannon said "let it all burn down" in 2016 - this has always been Trump's puppet masters' goal.

My life is better since I've subscribed to Wired (and support Wikipedia monthly).

Grover Norquist said in 2001, “I don’t want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub.” They’ve been like this for decades.

So Democrats need to make sure they find effective ways to prove who started all the fires that torched them. They are not very good about winning the narrative.
They need their own press secretary and not allow themselves to be abused constantly at Republican pressers. Skip them! Isolate them!

What does Project 2025 prescribe? Willing to bet this is part and parcel of "the plan".

tnps47.bsky.social•49 days ago

Stuff their pockets and their egos while watching it burn

lizlgenealogy.bsky.social•49 days ago

I subscribed to Wire weeks ago because of you all's amazing reporting on all of this. I'm genuinely surprised, though, that there is anyone out there who knows even a bit of what is happening and still thinks that they are doing anything other than burning everything to the ground.

kenpurcell.bsky.social•49 days ago

Thanks Katie for the excellent reporting you and your team at Wired are doing. It is amazing all the other national organizations are abdicating their roles!
