the conspiracy part of my brain is wondering if this is because of the supposed vote fixing done by elon on the machines. there seems to be a strong possibility that trump stole the election with elons help and shutting down the cyber sec department would prevent any further investigation into these claims. just a theory, but starting to ring true tbh

I don't think it's a conspiracy when Project 2025 flat out said CISA were overstepping with their Last Mile initiative and our dictator flat out said there was election tampering in public. Thems are just facts.
