It's almost as if efficiency and cost savings weren't actually the point.

    It never has been.

    For some reason people just took Republicans word that their issue was taxes paying for stuff.

    They just don't want the stuff, they already pay essentially nothing in taxes, but they still want to burn the government down because without a government the oligarchs control everything.

    I mean it's a effective way to prove that "the government is broken"....

    It's like old-school bullies on TV

    Hey nerd, why are your glasses broken?

    Then the stereotypical bully snatches them and breaks them.

    Considering Biff Tannon is president, it actually makes logical sense this is where we're at. Depressing as fuck tho

    Correct. I'm sure what they're doing has a word, but all I can conjure with my nin-native English vocabulary is "Whatever the opposite of virtue signaling is".

    I tried to look for antonyms of Virtue, but I couldn't a suitable one.
