Zelensky’s approval rating is higher than trump’s.

The sad part though is that they don’t even need to bother. MAGA people genuinely brainwash themselves, you can watch them do it in real time if you just explain how their worldview is based on lies. They will literally construct new lies on the spot to continue believing in Trump. It’s distressing.

Its theft. Both of services Americans are supposed to receive for their tax dollars and of our government itself through corporations and oligarchy.

So even if you give every possible point to MAGA just to be as charitable as possible, Trump’s purges do nothing to put money back in your pocket, and his actions cripple or deprive Americans of social services- essentially robbing them of non cash value they would otherwise get.

Energy department, Commerce department, the EPA, the department of health and human services, the labor department, SSA, and the VA, all have already been gutted, or are in the crosshairs for Trump and DOGE. If you can’t see how any of these agencies help Americans, you’re the problem with the U.S.

Moreover, impounding money directly or via crippling/destroying agencies it goes to is basically robbing the American people. What’s the most overwhelmingly common way the government impacts its citizens lives? Social services. The FAA, TSA, FEMA, CFPB, NLRB, CMS, the department of education,

But maybe you still don’t care. Maybe you think if the money doesn’t go back to you, Trump might as well try and make the government more efficient. To that I’d simply say destroying vital parts of the government doesn’t make it efficient, it just makes it inoperable.

In other words, this money Trump is, “saving,” isn’t his to dole out. Unless congress says otherwise, your taxes don’t go down and you don’t get any money back. You know, congress, the same body that allocated those funds to be spent via the bureaucracy in the first place.
