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.

    “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.
