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.

If we had access to IP’s and the subnets they belong to, I wouldn’t be surprised all these comments (the “MAGA fired employee” and the Brexiteer apologists) originate from the same building even. I find it strange that even now that there is a US president who is clearly working for a nation that isn’t his own, that people still think MAGA have had enough education to form multi paragraph arguments.

If they installed a US president with over 2-3 decades of grooming, what makes you think (after cambridge analytica and Eddy Snowden (he’s in RUS, living for free. In return for what?)).. what makes anyone think they haven’t fully perfected this “pretending to be MAGA” in the comment section?

They didn’t stop after the election. They didn’t stop after election day. It is decade long information warfare, and it will continue. This is why the orange man decided to stop all cyber protection against RUS.

The USA is under permanent attack from outside and inside and the majority is too busy surviving to see even their suburbs were designed to prevent uprisings.
