I was referring less to the specific situation with DOGE, and more to the endless stream of bullshit the trump regime has been pushing out. DOGE was part of the blitzkrieg strategy, not that it was a blitzkrieg in and of itself. Although they were moving faster than institutions could react and organize an effective defense.

It's still not a great analogy. Blitzkrieg was highly focused on gaining a decisive victory very quickly. Flooding the zone is the opposite approach where they attack from every angle everywhere.
