12. You ever wonder what would happen if we all just stopped cooperating with any

unconstitutional or illegal order by this dictatorship?

Because here's the thing - by doing idiotic things like decimating the IRS right in the middle of tax season, as well as all the other thoughtless, feckless actions Eyore and his DOGE are doing to reduce federal employment, they are making it so our government does not work for us.

Since we PAY for the government through income taxes, if we don't get the services we need, then we are being taxed without representation.

I mean, don't you think it ironic that the richest man in the world is telling US that WE need to endure economic suffering because WE have been living beyond OUR means?

That is just so much bullshit. The federal government has become profoundly corrupt because of things like Citizens United, which have allowed massive Wall Street and billionaire corruption to infest Congress and the presidency, and now the Supreme Court.

And if Eyore and his team of teen hackers fuck with Social Security and Medicare after millions of us have paid in full boat to these social insurance programs there will need to be a constitutional convention. Because after what happened in this last election, where BILLIONS of dollars were spent to enrich shareholders of publicly traded media companies, I don't think anything is working.

And now Eyore is braying out this email to federal workers to justify their existance and continued employment? Fuck him. DOGE is not an official department created by Congress. Eyore is neither elected nor has he been confirmed by the US Senate. And now he is firing all the high level military people?

I'm not sure the republic will survive this. The Dems are fighting back, but my senators, both Democrats, are making lip noises about working 'across the aisle.' Fuck that shit.

- Oppose the GOP tooth and nail and make them fight for every little inch of anything.
- Vote NO on everything.
- Shut the government down if you must.

STOP COOPERATING with these nazi fucks.
