They're not saving money so far, they have been spending more money than the government spent in 2024. And in those cases where they will spend less they also did enormous damage, e.g. cancelling clinical trials midway through. This is pure destruction, not efficiency.

And your woke argument is a pure strawman. What were those extreme positions by Kamala Harris?

The “Trump is doing the opposite of his program” yields no constructive argument. Because voting for the opposite movement wouldn’t have made the left suddenly implement meritocratic capitalism.

Why, exactly isn't that a constructive argument?

eastbound> We need Trump because the economy is in the shitter

fabian2k> He's actually making it worse

eastbound> Well, the other side wouldn't have made it better

How do you get to have it both ways -- the economy is important, but Trump is more important despite ruining it?
