> they're finding waste that doesn't align with the Presidents vision for America. It's as simple as that
In other words, it is partisan but you, more or less, agree with it.
> The president isn't in alignment with Gender Ideology or "wokeness" as is often put. The large majority of these programs support those ideas
The VA is woke? The FAA is woke? Cancer research is woke? Nuclear weapons security is woke? Bird flu researchers are woke?
If it were just some DEI directors getting fired most people wouldn't care, but the haphazard blowing up of the government is not about "waste", it's an obvious political agenda.

I’ll bite since you mentioned VA. I 100% see bloat and waste that need to be purged every time I go in. The large portion of non DRs working there I interact with are lazy and barely work. It’s been a jobs program that has created issue after issue. Clear the bloat and hire the right people. So again, yes I’m fine with it.

When you say "large majority", do you have any evidence or data to point to that isn't just Elon going "Look at all this fraud I found!!!" and then none of it turns out to at all be fraud?
There is excess spending on what the admin sees as bullshit, they're going to remove it. Just as Biden pushed to forgive student loans and it played out in the courts, this will play out as well, though it seems to not be in favor of the "losing parties".
