And here’s the crucial part: Trump and Musk aren’t outside this system, strategically exploiting it. They’re inside it, just like everyone else. They aren’t masterminds - they are products of the same information disorder that is warping public perception.

And because people’s opinions on this are shaped by social media pseudo-environments, they don’t see this as an attack on democracy. They see it as necessary. Their feeds are filled with posts reinforcing the idea that federal workers are dead weight, so they accept the purge.

DOGE isn’t just about government efficiency - it’s about purging federal agencies of workers who won’t fall in line. By mass-firing employees and forcing them to prove their worth, they’re reshaping the government into an institution that only serves those in power.
