Take a close look at who is creating two sides. Perhaps there is more nuance to the points being made by the people who do not seem to be pro DOGE.

It's the other side! They're the ones creating two sides!

If we can define what "pro DOGE" means and say that anyone who does not fall under that definition is therefore not "pro DOGE", then we've got two mutually exclusive and jointly exhaustive groups. Failing those two things, we've got what's called a "false dichotomy". OP is saying there are two groups: those who are "pro government waste" and those who are "pro DOGE". Who do you think is creating that false dichotomy?

Just adding that I realize the parent comment is making a joke, just expanding on my thoughts with this one.

they are certainly leading the dance, but it takes two to tango
