Frankly, I don't think people think that far. I think a lot of people are getting increasingly used to taking snippets of info at face value. DOGE = bad. Okay, noted, moving on. Unfortunately. It will become that much easier to corrupt and manipulate if people get it into their heads that equates being well-informed.

True, they don't get beyond the "triggered" stage. I saw today a sitting US Senator was spreading disinformation via their social media account about how Elon (DOGE) was planning to eliminate Social Security and Medicare. Thank God for Community Notes on X correcting her by countering with the fact that DOGE was seeking to eliminate fraud within those programs so as to make the programs solvent. This still didn't prevent people from being outraged and amplifying it.
