McCabe stated DOGE is acting like a “wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason.”
Reading between the lines, ol' Bob here seems to think that only MAGA are people. Destroying the libs' lives is perfectly fine.

That's what they all think. They're violent, hateful, and disgusting people. I'm wondering how long before Nazi hat wearing motherfuckers start getting attacked in public as a matter of self defense.
A few miles away, another prison employee, Crystal Minton, accompanied her fiancé to a friend's house to help clear the remnants of a metal roof mangled by the hurricane. Ms. Minton, a 38-year-old secretary, said she had obtained permission from the warden to put off her Mississippi duty until early February because she is a single mother caring for disabled parents. Her fiancé plans to take vacation days to look after Ms. Minton's 7-year-old twins once she has to go to work.The shutdown on top of the hurricane has caused Ms. Minton to rethink a lot of things."I voted for him, and he's the one who's doing this," she said of Mr. Trump. "I thought he was going to do good things. He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."
Crystal Minton, who inadvertently became the ideological core of the MAGA movement. She said the quiet part out loud.
I like what the left wants is universal healthcare, a social safety net, housing for everyone, just stuff where we’d love it if everybody had access to it. The only people who need to be “hurt” are the straight-up actual criminals who seem to otherwise dodge every consequence and those people are extremely rich assholes who have a lot of power and use it all for pure evil and none of them are regular people.
But then the right comes along and it’s always “how can we bring the most cruel, crude punishment to this margainalized group of poor people?” and it’s just, like…fucking really?
We were in Tennessee. During the motorcade, he spotted some ugly racial epithets scrawled on signs. Late that night in the hotel, when the local dignitaries had finished the last bottles of bourbon and branch water and departed, he started talking about those signs. "I'll tell you what's at the bottom of it," he said. "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." -Bill Moyers quoting LBJ
I think a whole lot of it is racism, xenophobia, etc...even if government-as-a-weapon is an inexact thing, and those voting for qons know it, they still hope it will harm the out-group even more.
I've been wondering the same thing.

Wait, so when it was destroying other people's lives, that was fine, but now that it's your life, you wanna be a bitch?
Let me help you here dear trump voter... Fuck you, you deserve it.
When he said he was coming for everybody but you thought he'd make an exception for you.
You were only supposed to destroy other people's lives!
In other news, Trump voter finally understands Homer's catchphrase "D'oh!" after 38 years.
Odds are extremely low that he learned anything. He probably thinks he was being informative about them not harming the right people.

My face! The leopards! The goggles! They do nothing!
Realization is not enough. If you voted for Trump you need to actively work to undo the damage you caused. This isn't a forgive and forget situation.
The IRS, particularly, was spoken about as a clear target well before Election Day. The GOP make it clear they want to kill the revenue generating service because they’re actually terrible business people.
This guy is an idiot if he didn’t think he could be impacted, too.
"I didn't think the leopards were going to eat MY face" - says the person that voted for the Leopards Eating Faces party
Oh look! It’s your cake and now you can eat it too!
Sorry, no eggs

You won. Now deal with it.
I guess this is the only way to break the spell on these people, one at a time?
Have them lose their job and be miserable thanks to Republican policies?
Also: I have just no idea how you could be working for the government and voting Republican. The Republicans have been for saying, for years, that they want to destroy government.
Trouble is they will only realise when they are effected.
Equally, I am confused by Brits that work for the NHS and vote Conservative.
Same propaganda works everywhere.
The middle class is deteriorating, pay * isn't increasing in sync with inflation, less kids, less money in taxes.
The rich aren't rich in a vacuum, as the * Rich get richer the rest get poorer. It's pretty easy to target them to hate down one social level.
As far as NHS, well if you're not overly sick you're paying too much and most people aren't overly sick. People who are struggling really get behind the "fuck you I got mine" train when instead they could be on the help me too train.

It hurt itself in its confusion
I didn’t think the Leopards would terminate my employment!
Reap what you sow- MAGA
FAFO.
I have zero sympathy for this chucklefuck. I voted to save democracy. I just hope they hurt more than I do for their shit choice.
So anyways, I think we need to come together on a Leopard's Obesity Awareness program. Nobody seems to be talking about just how fat those poor poor leopards are getting!!

Enjoy it, dumbass.
He'll probably vote for him again next term, where Trump will win with 88% of the vote.
I know they don't really care about laws or what's legal but this is his last 4 years unless they go full on mask off dictator. So far, he's doing a bang up job trying to position himself as such.

The Leopards Eating Faces party is a real thing, guys.
Rest of the trump voters: not my life, don't care!
Leopards will not go hungry for the next 4 years.
