I guess if you can convince people an election was stolen despite clear evidence it wasn’t, or that a pandemic that kills a million people was a hoax, it’s not really that big of a leap to convince them that having their retirement funds wiped out is a good thing.

But more than a dozen have been fired by the Trump administration.
In their place, DOGE is making cuts, which experts warn could have unintended consequences.
