But DOGE is basically “make government more efficient”, so they are interchangeable.
Trying to give an analogy like “i don’t like football” and “we should kill all football players” for my statement is pretty disingenuous and a massive strawman itself.
We’re trying to explain to you that they’re NOT interchangeable. What you’re doing is applying a false syllogism, but in question form.
Let me illustrate with an example in a statement form: “A rock can’t fly. You can’t fly, therefore you are a rock”.
You’re saying “A wants to do X. You are criticizing A, so you must object to X being done.” That is making an unjustified leap to your conclusion. It doesn’t matter what the subject is, this is a logic error.
If someone says: "I think DOGE is BS", they're not saying: "I think any and all efforts to improve goverment efficiency are BS."
Sometimes, the thing a person says is the thing they mean to say. You're clearly creating a strawman.
