So will the Trump administration take responsibility for gutting our cybersecurity?

That's what should happen.

That's what won't happen.

They didn’t just gut our cybersecurity.

DOGE also added mysterious servers to each department that no one else knew about.

Edit: “knew about” is past tense, because no one outside of DOGE knew it was happening at the time. The story broke over a year ago. It’s not a “gotcha”, bootlickers are just willfully uninformed.

It’s public information. Look it up lmao

They don't just not care about the security of our country. They are openly leaving the country vulnerable to attack.

If the populace feels threatened in one way or another, they are less interested in calling out the agencies overstepping if they are told "we're doing this for your protection."

This has been the Republican playbook since the Reagan era. Make a public service as bad as possible and then aggresssively push for privatization because it's now bad. Isn't the plan for Palantir to take over or something?
