Unfortunately for our entertainment, her Facebook profile has been entirely purged of her MAGA history.

Transcript:

I’m officially unemployed. Today I was RIF’d from the government. It’s such a surreal and humbling moment; one that I knew was coming but secretly thought and wished would never happen. I started working for SBA in 2010 during my senior year of college. I came in as an emergency hire and was placed on the student career experience program. I worked in accounts payable for 14 years before moving to contracting in October. I worked remotely since 2017 when I was placed on a reasonable accommodation after shattering my kneecap while walking into work. I worked countless hours from different hospitals I was inpatient in from 2017-2023. I relied on work to get me through many difficult times in my life while I was alone in the hospital or angry at the universe. It kept me mentally sane for many years and gave me a purpose in life. I took a lot of pride over the team I managed and the work that we produced. I wouldn’t change one thing about my federal career and hope one day I can continue it.

For now, it is time to figure out what is next for me. To all my fellow government workers, I want to say it’s been a privilege being able to work with you. The government is full of a lot of highly intelligent and hard working individuals. I know that we will all be ok after the dust has settled and make a game plan for what is next. I have met so many great people in the government and hope the best for everyone!

For everyone that knows someone in the federal workforce, please check in on them. This is a scary and sad time for most of us and we are not ok at the moment and are faced with some scary unknown challenges that we have not faced before.

    Rubbing it in their face or trying to make them feel like shit is not going to accomplish anything productive

    This approach is the primary cause of everything getting worse. Didn’t punish the south enough for the civil war, so we got James Crow laws and other horrible shit thrown at black people to this day. Didn’t punish Nixon, pretended everything was fine with all the other shit stains instead of holding them accountable.

    No, this lady should be vilified for what she did. Letting her hide it just means that she can act like she is in it with everyone else when she lit the house on fire. All these MAGA supporters need to be shamed in public permanently.

      I don’t think they’re saying to completely forgive them. It’s just that them changing their mind is a positive change that should be acknowledged and celebrated. People can change for the better. Some people would still support Trump even when it hurts them.

        I haven’t seen anything to indicate she’s changed her mind. Not one “I was wrong”, no “I regret my vote”, nothing but whining about what’s happened to her.

            Are you? Since you have nothing to add as a rebuttal but this I’m going to assume you’re a hypocrite that doesn’t.

            No, but I’ve seen several posts about her here. While I suppose it’s possible she’s made posts regretting her support of Trump that haven’t been posted here I tend to doubt it. You’d think something of that sentiment would be reflected in at least one of the posts that ends up here but I’ve seen nothing.

              Can confirm, she hasn’t posted anything negative about Trump or anything that indicates any amount of regret for how she voted. Just this stuff about how she doesn’t want to get political about anything.

        Sounds like they were smart enough to realize how stupid they looked. That’s not the same at all.

        It’s A Cult. They will vote the same way again.

        it’s not about changing their minds, it’s about rubbing their faces in it
