It's also because we talk a lot about government spending generically and not what that spending actually means. You find the same thing with environmental regulations. When you talk about them generically people oppose them. But when you ask which should be cut people don't want them cut
This is Reagan's legacy--the fruit of the seeds of skepticism toward government programs that he and his cronies helped sow.
A poll this week found that 51% of Americans approve of staff cuts at federal agencies. And 51% also believe that "a lot" of government spending is wasteful.

I guess it's good to know that there is a line for elite conduct somewhere but it is depressing how it's more commonly drawn in response to breaches of etiquette rather than, say, dropping of bombs or withdrawals of food aid
One of Norway's largest fuel companies just announced that they will no longer refuel US Navy vessels after Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy.
“It made us sick... We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example.”

It’s the same way they talk about Palestinians. It’s the same way they talk about Black people. It’s the same way they talk about queer people. It’s a genocidal mindset that must be resisted with all our might.
Absolutely wild what some Republican officials feel comfortable saying about California while the LA fires are still burning. If Adam Schiff talked like this about Texas in the middle of a major disaster, he would be rightfully hounded into giving a groveling apology.
