The only people who are protesting at this point seem to be Democrats who are using vague anti slogans, rather than proposing any useful alternatives. It is not possible to argue that there hasn't been waste and inappropriate funding, even anti-American funding, and the Dems aren't engaging with these specifics. Once more it's

"But...Trump". Citizen referendums would be nice, but they are seldom initiated or even permitted by local governments. We have to work with what we have; and what we have are national elections. There were other options on the ballot beside Harris, and a write-in option in some elections. It's an interesting exercise to talk about the perfect setting for democracy, but it's not a practical solution to a bloated government with a disastrous foreign policy and a two party system that is corrupt to the core. Confronted with a cancer, a surgeon doesn't discuss it endlessly with a patient, she cuts deep and wide. That's what is happening now. Even so, it may be too late. Our education system has been corrupted with anti-America hatred and race relations have taken a giant step backward, thanks to the race-baiting Democrats who used it as an election strategy, just as they did the open borders travesty. Throw in the trans/female safe spaces/minor health protections and you have the perfect storm; a nation finally says, "Enough is enough".

Physically protesting? Sure. Quietly protesting, and talking about how they think this is all crazy? No, a lot of people are doing that.
>Confronted with a cancer, a surgeon doesn't discuss it endlessly with a patient, she cuts deep and wide.
No, that's exactly the opposite of what happens. Perhaps choose an analogy that isn't associated with precision. Surgeons discuss the surgery with the patient and then only cut where they have to.

Please explain how that relates to shutting down funding for Ebola treatment or AIDS outreach and prevention. How does firing everyone that was responding to a open records request help those goals? How about firing everyone that answered the phone when someone called about issues with their social security or their taxes? Did getting rid of that improve the education system or race relations?
What about all the ended contracts, where because the government cancelled without cause they had to pay for any services or products delivered or time passed? How about DOGE lying about that, and claiming the full value of the contract as "savings" - does that help the agenda?

Then don't claim that what is happening is what people voted for. People voted against Kamala because she's a bad politician and weak, and Trump won because of Israel, the economy and the border. Nobody elected him because they wanted to get rid of Fluoride in the water or because they wanted tariffs to crash the economy.
