But this line of analysis requires that we ask one more question. And it’s the crucial one: Why didn’t a majority of voters see these things? And understanding the answer to that question is how we start to dig out of this tragic mess.

The answer is the right-wing media. Today, the right-wing media—Fox News (and the entire News Corp.), Newsmax, One America News Network, the Sinclair network of radio and TV stations and newspapers, iHeart Media (formerly Clear Channel), the Bott Radio Network (Christian radio), Elon Musk’s X, the huge podcasts like Joe Rogan’s, and much more—sets the news agenda in this country.

If you read me regularly, you know that I’ve written this before, but I’m going to keep writing it until people—specifically, rich liberals, who are the only people in the world who have the power to do something about this state of affairs—take some action.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which President-elect Trump put Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy in charge of, announced on Thursday that it is opening up hiring to interested candidates.

"We are very grateful to the thousands of Americans who have expressed interest in helping us at DOGE. We don't need more part-time idea generators. We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting," DOGE wrote.

"If that's you, DM this account with your CV. Elon & Vivek will review the top 1% of applicants."

In response to an X user who observed the "unbridled enthusiasm of wanting to be part of something of profound historical significance" that will require a "monumental amount of tedious super-high quality work," Musk noted that DOGE workers won't be paid for their efforts to cut spending and streamline government.

Musk remarked, "Indeed, this will be tedious work, make lots of enemies & compensation is zero. What a great deal!"

However, no compensation for 80+ hours a week? Hard pass.
