[I have to make this edit because I overestimated you tards. ENGLISH MOTHERLOVERS. Do you speak it? This post is not about foreign aid in general, whether USAID is corrupt (probably is ), etc. It is about chuds' attitude to the specific institution USAID over time.]
Above is the google searches for "usaid" over the last 5 years, so it goes all the way back to Trump's first term.
Here's the last month. Notice it has nothing to do with Trump's inauguration. It just suddenly fires up one day when the NPCs got their firmware update.
I've seen chuds all over this place acting like they always knew USAID is corrupt and this has been common knowledge throughout society for a long time.
Here's a good example from @finbarfin: USAID, one of the more infamous money laundering arms of our sprawling government
Infamous? Like Charles Manson? Benedict Arnold? Idi Amin? That Borgia chick who poisoned people? I've never in my life heard someone describe a person as "infamous" because they just became hated by a fraction of the population in the last week.
But Redactor, we've always hated USAID! We've been railing against their corruption for so long.
This site's users are neurodivergent, highly political, mostly right-wing so surely it has come up. Well, let's look at the data. (I know that's what the DOGE boys would do.) It was mentioned in 58 posts, of which 7 are from more than a month ago. It was mentioned in 134 comments, 13 from more than a month ago. Most of these just mention it in passing. Quite a few are negative, but not in the way our current chud program says. Most of these are attacking the politicians who ordered USAID to do something, third world people for stealing, or pointing out the actually true fact that it's largely a corporate welfare program for farmers. I'm not finding anything about corruption in the agency itself.
Did anyone post any evidence that they actually gave a shit about the internal workings of USAID back then? There was one person. Just one person. Can you guess who it was? I'll give you some time to think this over.
It was me! Little old Redactor. Not only did I care, I cared enough to read the entire fricking section of Project 2025 about it.
And what was my opinion of it? It must be some woke soy libtard response. I probably cried on the shoulders of another guy in my polycule. You know me, the left-wing extremist.
I skimmed through Intelligence and USAID. It actually wasn't too scary. Most of it was just boilerplate "we should do things more efficiently" bullshit that could just as easily come from the Democrats. Their only new ideas were funneling aid money to missionaries in Africa and using aid to hurt Iran somehow.
Why did I choose those two sections? Why not health care, education, finance, other more important stuff? Because this was what I felt I was most qualified to evaluate.
I am the only one of you r-slurs who actually knew anything about your issue du jour before now. I even knew what was supposed to be Daddy's game plan for it. You can't deny it. I am the King of Chuds. It's time for you to crown me.

Hating USAID has always been a leftoid thing

I dunno if it came up in Confessions of an Economic Hitman but there's a strain of leftoids out there who think anything America ever does must have ulterior motives. And they'd be the kind of sperg to actually find which organization to blame.

Russia is the one that I find mind-boggling. How do you hate a foreign country for a long time, it keeps doing the same shit you hate it for, and then suddenly you start loving it because of domestic politics?

isn't that one of the reasons why foreign aid is important though? obviously it (theoretically) builds goodwill but it also usually comes with strings
attached and you can threaten
to pull it if the country
does something
you don't like

If this isn't true it should be. America isn't a person and can't experience compersion.
