    What is the argument for the administration ceasing federal participation? How do they try to justify it? When I take this to my dad, what’s he gonna say about how this program was actually woke bullshit?

      How do they try to justify it?

      The right-wing is post-thought. The most effort they’re willing to make is a few sentences or a paragraph at absolute most. My assumption is their “cost cutting” argument is simple and it’s always same no matter how insane it sounds to normal people. It goes something like this…

      "The woke crowd are yelling and screaming about Trump cutting ____________________. They just hate the cuts because Trump is doing them. The private sector can do it and do it better. The cuts are good."

      It’s utter nonsense but I think it’s a lie that works for them. It’s an in-group lie. They don’t care at all if it makes no sense and has no logic for other people. From their POV lots of people “just hate Trump” and can be ignored.
