That’s very misleading to state. If you look at all polls about DOGE and related topics, you will find DOGE approval is relatively low while the ostensible DOGE mandates have the approval closer to 70% that you’re talking about.

Yet these are not the same things. DOGE has done many things already which upset and discourage people. Come to Canada where the sentiment towards DOGE seems very negative, you will still see a great desire for improved government efficiency.

DOGE is not as well-loved as a poll about government efficiency will make it seem. Almost everyone wants improved efficiency. Many people think their public service needs cuts. Not everyone thinks the way DOGE does it makes sense.




Yes not everyone absolutely agrees on anything. And thats why we have elections and the winner of that election gets to decide.


Usually it seems like there’s a bit more democracy involved in the USA, but it’s getting hard to tell from here in Canada.


And then we get to criticize the living fuck out of whoever won, especially if they're incompetent.


And even if they're competent too but just on the other side...
