I think we’re all pretty excited about the idea of cutting into the bloated bureaucracy. Many of us have run businesses, and can’t imagine running one like the government is run. Without unlimited resources in terms of money, it simply could not be sustained.
So it’s not at all surprising that people in general love what Trump and Musk are doing, here. We’re all just sick of this! It really is not too much to ask to have the government run well. Or at least reasonably well. It’s not too much to ask to have little corruption and waste. It’s not too much to ask to have government employment to not be some sacred and untouchable sinecure.
Nobody is buying it. People are waking up to the fact that most of what the government does is a fraud, simply worthless, or impedes our freedom and prosperity. We have been paying astronomical prices for this worthless junk, and no amount of crying that what Trump and Musk are doing is “evil” or “cruel” is working outside the Blue-Anon circles.
The Trump approval number seem almost impossible to me. Still, it is a reputable polling agency and a constrained, small sample. But in any case, it is certainly the vast majority who approves.
