Summary
Federal workers who voted for Trump in 2024 are facing unexpected job losses as the administration implements massive workforce cuts.
Michael Graugnard, an attorney advisor at USDA, was laid off three months into his role despite managerial assurances. While he supports “government efficiency,” he didn’t anticipate this implementation but doesn’t regret his vote.
Similarly, IRS veteran James Diaz criticizes the administration’s “chainsaw” approach to cuts. However, others like Ryleigh Cooper, who voted for Trump’s IVF promises, now regret their decision after losing her Forest Service job.
The layoffs are part of Trump and Musk’s plan that has terminated thousands of federal workers and convinced 77,000 others to resign.
You reap what you sow.
I’m sad for all the workers who didn’t vote for Trump and have to deal with this shit, but I’m not sad for the ones who voted for him. They got what they asked for; they were just too dumb to realize they’d be impacted too
Still, Graugnard said he does not regret voting for Trump.
All I need to know
This is the worrying part. It’s all but a “stop hitting yourself” kind of situation and I really hoped there could be some learning.
In my country just a rumor of a potential factory shutdown that cause the loss of 200 jobs will create huge strikes and riots in multiple cities.
In the USA, unjustified firings for thousands and thousands of persons and all you get are news pieces like this, “[the person that just lost his job still] supports government efficiency, […] but doesn’t regret his vote”
Yeah because we’re largely stupid, not passionate about anything other than hate, or busy dicking around on TikTok. I hate it here and hope to move abroad somewhere, someday.
“IVF promises”
Whoever thought he was going to give people free IVF have got to be the most gullable of the bunch…
There is no way, and that should have been obvious.
“I didn’t think that the leopards would eat MY face!” - says person who voted for the Leopards Eating Faces party
He is even not complaining, he got his face eaten but still supports the party
“However, I’m still glad that I voted for the Leopards Eating Faces party.”
“I can respectfully disagree with their exact method of eating my face and still support all their goals… of eating my face.”
So sad, and so predictable
Fuck 'em. They got what they voted for.
Imagine being pissed off at freeloading scumbags, so you vote Trump into office, and it turns out you where the freeloading scumbag all along.
It’s a cult. There’s no other way to describe it.
… like a Jim Jones ‘light’ ?
karma.
What’s the line of reason? They voted according to their core values and since they have to pay for the implementation, they should change their values or should have voted solely by self interest?
Is the position of ‘the left’ that it is right to vote in self interest and not for the common good?
Morons being tricked is by scammers. More at 7.
Natural selection
“Unexpected job losses” lmao maybe these people, specifically, were incompetent. They couldn’t even bother to read the fucking platform of the person they voted for!
Fuck your own life over I don’t care but to be so selfish and incapable of critical thought to the point of harming millions of people to sooth your ignorance is straight up evil.
You know how history is gonna remember these people? The same way everyone thinks about the poor Germans who voted for Hitler because they were afraid of losing their small business in the depression: as fucking nazis.
Valueable insights, tell me more about poor Nazis
“I still support all of the goals of the administration, and I think that I can respectfully disagree with the way those things are carried out,” he said.
That’s why you’re a fucking moron who can’t be reasoned with.
The really gross part is this prick is patting himself on the back for being so high-minded and principled. He might feel even better about his choice now, if sacrifice is the measure of commitment to a cause.
“I may disagree with the leopard that’s eating my face, but there sure needs to be a lotta face eating and I can support that despite what I’m going through”, he said smugly, looking up from the boot he’s licking.
“Personally, I’da gone with Tabasco, but if they prefer to sprinkle Sriracha on my face before digging in, I have to respect their decision.”
