Should we be concerned about the government shakeup?

Asked by Strauss (23960points) 1 month ago

The Department of Government Efficiency an oxymoron if I’ve ever seen one has been running rampant for about a month now. All of said “Department’s” work, from the way I see it, has very little to do with making the government more “efficient,” or rooting out “incompetence,” or “depoliticizing” parts of government that should be nonpartisan, nor does it have to do with “DEI” or “woke” stuff.

My real concern is this: In every part of the government that involves the use of force — the military, the investigation and prosecution of crimes, the authority to arrest, the capacity to hold individuals in jail—the fired or eliminated positions are being filled or replaced by people whose loyalty seems to be to the “Fearless Leader” rather than to the Constitution. Every tyrant throughout history has gained a personal monopoly on the use of force so he can impose his will on anyone, for any purpose.
