How is a large swath of the population okay with things like this? How do they not see such things as embarrassing on the national level? I just don't get it.

Feels like it's built by a first year junior dev. There's a doge in the HTML in ASCII block characters as well.

Separate thought, I wonder how much it bothers Elon that the industry standardized on meta tags with "twitter" namespacing, and that will unlikely ever change.

Maybe a bit less than how the x86_64 instruction set is amd64 on linux binaries, because AMD came up with it while Intel was playing with Itanium IA-64.

It's all a big joke to Elon. Some people take government seriously, but not him.

This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong,

To love that well, which [we'll defund] ere long.

Embarrassing.

I don’t know why this comment is being downvoted. The website is indeed extremely embarrassing to anyone who thinks government is a serious business.

My mobile browser shows the doge.gov url but sharing the site actually shares x.com/doge

It is likely due to one or both these lines:

  <meta property="og:url" content="https://x.com/doge"/>
  <link rel="canonical" href="https://x.com/doge"/>

I guess this is where the savings from the shutdown of https://reproductiverights.gov/ went

"The people voted for major reform"

They didn't vote for Elon to do it. They also were explicitly lied to by the Trump campaign -- they claimed they didn't know what Project 2025 was and that they had no relationship to it. The minute they won, guess what they said their plan is?

Lying fascists.

There's a nice 'lil Easter egg in the source :)
