DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

So, we’re just moving on from the sedition-execution thing?

Meme-boosted false nostalgia for past prosperity that didn’t exist are picturing the average 1950s experience as ads and sitcoms, the 1980s as Home Alone, don’t get that the Simpsons was parodying this, etc.
Sort of like how people thinking of the Middle Ages imagine themselves a knight or noble.
