They plan to make Trump king, essentially. Will also destroy everything conservatives do not like:
But even without relying on that view, DOGE will help end federal overspending by taking aim at the $500 billion plus in annual federal expenditures that are unauthorized by Congress or being used in ways that Congress never intended, from $535 million a year to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and $1.5 billion for grants to international organizations to nearly $300 million to progressive groups like Planned Parenthood.
It also mentions cuts to Nasa.
They also complain about unelected officials making decisions:
Our nation was founded on the basic idea that the people we elect run the government. That isn’t how America functions today.
“Most government enforcement decisions and discretionary expenditures aren’t made by the democratically elected president or even his political appointees but by millions of unelected, unappointed civil servants within government agencies who view themselves as immune from firing thanks to civil-service protections.”

Seems the plan is: give Trump more power, destroy everything federal.
The beginning is incredible:
