The provided text, "Cutting Out the Rot," discusses a hypothetical second term for Donald J. Trump, focusing on his alleged intent to enact a widespread purge of federal agencies and institutions. The author suggests that unlike his first term, where he merely "shouted at the choir," this time Trump would employ a "scorched-earth doctrine" to dismantle what he perceives as an "Intercom" of entrenched opposition within the government. This includes mass terminations, budget cuts to NGOs, and the cessation of various government-funded programs, all aimed at de-powering ideological adversaries. The text highlights a paradox where the loudest protestors against this "purge" are often current or former government employees themselves, illustrating an internal conflict within the governmental structure.
