To be fair Bannon was/is....pretty not good.

Stop going to reddit. That's why we're all here.

I don't think this one is nearly as obvious as Musk's, and I feel like blowing something like this up makes us look bad and will only further them doing sarcastic, vague gestures "as a joke" until it gets normalized more.

I'm not sure this one would have landed him in a prison cell (or citation or whatever they do).

AFAIK that hasn't actually happened yet. Any search results I got were "what will happen if Trump ignores the court/what can judges do if orders are defied?" So, as a person who had to distance myself from sensationalized news for my mental health, I shouldn't worry about things that haven't happened. Especially things so far outside of my control.

I believe most of those will get reinstated by Congress or judicial branch.

This is a pretty good answer. I hope that the judicial branch (not just the top) will reverse many of these decisions, as DOGE really does not have the authority to remove things that Congress voted on....and hopefully Congress will reinstate some of the very important things when they inevitably have to do budget again.

Although there's a lot of knee-jerk reaction in some circles, Trump issuing EOs that are illegal and unenforceable only go as far as all the other vitriol that slides it's way out of his mouth creases. Plenty of things he does are blocked by judges, including his demand that only him and his AG are allowed to interpret the law. It just doesn't work like that. Although the possibility of things being escalated and allowed through a compromised supreme Court still exists, it hasn't happened yet. I'm not giving into the mania while checks and balances still actually do exist.

Corporations dictating what people can do has been happening basically my whole life.

DOGE is another story. It's very bad, yeah, but I'm not sure how it affects me personally in my day-to-day.
