I've been calling it Ameristroika and have yet to get even a single knowing grin or soft chuckle.
Well you got a hearty chuckle out of me comrade. I'm definitely stealing that.
Ameristroika
more like Ameristroking
Ameristroika is a good one ✍️
Yeah definitely geared to purge whatever vestiges of “central planning” even occur in the US anymore- this is IMO an area they believe can be 1-to-1 replaced by AI - and with how “planning” currently occurs in the government (with enough guardrails to prevent too much introspection of root causes)- they’re not wrong, it will just be the death of any sort of novel thought (or whatever offends the bourgeoisie) applied to planning.
No one sees the irony in creating a whole government wing about continuing on more of the same? Austerity for austerity’s sake?
Of course you can probably expect that military and corporate subsidies are going to be left untouched.

The continuing resolution did increase "defense" spending, so I'm sorry to say it wasn't even left untouched 🙃
I’m honestly a little pissed at how gullible mfs are where the so-called “radical reform” mfs are just promoting more of the same.
“AfD?” How is doubling down on austerity and Americanizing Europe even further an alternative’. How is turning the UK into America’s unofficial 51st state a ‘reform’ as if the Tories haven’t been in power for decades (this includes red tories, any alternative to the Tories has not seen relevance in the 21st century.)
The Shock Doctrine comes home like a prodigal child.
That word would go over the heads of most Americans
yeah, my internal definition of it is "scary sounding word meaning bad thing"
If you ever turn on CNN (don't) the mainstream media is saying "DOGE" out loud and it feels so weird. Like stop doing that, you're 60 years old along with Elon, this is a meme for babies.
Lathe: Elon Musk is going to mention skibidi toilet in an official political speech.
If democrats want to stay relevant, I want to see one of them explicitly call republicans ‘the brainrot party’.
what pronunciation have they chosen
Dog-E
It would be a smart move so the liberals never will do it effectively.
It's like how they keep trying to rehabilitate the Republicans by calling the outrageous stuff "MAGA Republicans."
No, tie it all to the Republican Party, sink them with their own millstone. They're so dogshit at messaging.
Getting a Shiba Inu and naming it Austerity as a bit.
Let’s start a trade war while also removing all stimulatory spending and let’s ensure the available capital gets locked up by an incompetent hereditary owner class all at the same time.
The next 5 years will suck but the Chinese century begins 2030.
TBH why not declare 2020 or 2000 the start?
I will never call it "doughj"
It's the doggy department.
Embrace Liz thought 
(also, we need more Liz emotes, as an avid Trueanon listener she's the unappreciated half)
She's a good comedic foil to Brace's antics.
Oh thaaaaaaaat
