It is unrealistic to expect that oligarchs, aristocrats, plutocrats, theocrats, fascists and other despots with ever desire a good outcome for anyone.

I do agree that keeping friends close and enemies closer is wise.

DOGE is not our friend.
Make no mistake about it.

It's not about a blame game.

This is about our very survival.
This requires calling out depravity as being depraved.

This requires not giving quarter to the enemy within.
