Trump voter shocked to get fired by DOGE: It’s ‘destroying people’s lives

26 comments

1. An IRS worker who voted for President Donald Trump expressed shock after being among the roughly 7,000 people in the department to be laid off by the Department of Government Efficiency.

   Robert McCabe of Philadelphia told NBC10 that the Trump administration and DOGE, run by world’s richest man Elon Musk, are acting like a “wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason.”

   “You know when he talks about government waste and all that, yes, I’m behind it,” McCabe told the local station. “I believe there is a lot of stuff in the government that needs fixing. And that’s part of the reason why I actually wanted to work for the government, actually. To help change. Help change the things that are wrong in the world, you know? I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason.”

2. The media hasn’t picked it up yet, but the new consumer sentiment survey just dropped five minutes ago.

   Absolute fucking disaster.

   > Consumer sentiment extended its early month decline, sliding nearly 10% from January. The decrease was unanimous across groups by age, income, and wealth. All five index components deteriorated this month, led by a 19% plunge in buying conditions for durables, in large part due to fears that tariff-induced price increases are imminent. Expectations for personal finances and the short-run economic outlook both declined almost 10% in February, while the long-run economic outlook fell back about 6% to its lowest reading since November 2023.

   > Year-ahead inflation expectations jumped up from 3.3% last month to 4.3% this month, the highest reading since November 2023 and marking two consecutive months of unusually large increases. The current reading is now well above the 2.3-3.0% range seen in the two years prior to the pandemic. Long-run inflation expectations rose over the course of the month and climbed from 3.2% in January to 3.5% in February. This is the largest month-over-month increase seen since May 2021.

3. He will vote straight MAGA candidates again. Mark my words.

4. Irs worker that voted for the party that said they wanna get rid of the irs entirely

5. “He’s hurting the wrong people!”

6. Too Bad we tried to warn them

7. You voted for the guy that campaigned on mass deportation, a concept of a plan, and privatization of government services. Republicans have been content with hurting the poor, disabled, elderly, LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, and women. But now hatred has grown to include everybody not part of the top 5%.

8. I just don’t know what reality people are living in where they think Trump and Elon would “go through the fraud in the system with a fine tooth comb” or whatever this leopard victim said. How do they remember to breathe? How are they able to operate motor vehicles? 

9. MAGA loves seeing other people’s lives being destroyed until it hits them.

10. Hammer tells nail that nail is a fellow hammer and is shocked when hammer smashes down nail.

11. Any government worker who voted for Trump failed the intelligence test and is a valid termination.

12. No no, it’s not. You did. You voted for this. Take some responsibility. YOUR actions destroyed peoples lives including your own.

13. So the Trump voter is upset that they’re being treated exactly how they wanted others treated?

14. Trump Voter: I thought he was only going after the illegal immigrants not me. What’s going on?!?
    Everyone else with reading comprehension of 13yo: We’ve been telling you!!!!

15. No shit, Sherlock. What did you think they were advertising? Shiatsu’s? They were totally transparent in telegraphing what they were going to do, there is no way you’re going to turn around now and say ‘I did not see this coming’. That’s the good news. The bad news is that they’re only getting started and given another two months or so you’ll be lucky if you still have water and food.

    I can’t be happy about this idiot getting his comeuppance because there are many other people who did not vote for trump that are suffering as much or more.

16. My heroes in vector borne disease research at CDC in Fort Collins were axed. I’m not even sure what you do professionally when you are so specialized.

17. Anyone who works with the feds knows there are issues- but it’s NOT the workers. The systems are terribly antiquated and agencies understaffed- I’m a public college employee who works on grants – the federal workers are VERY concerned with following the rules, they manage huge workloads with many many projects- because the systems are so out of date the workers have to do an enormous amount of troubleshooting. People in this country are terribly ignorant – the waste is coming from the politicians – who are in the pockets of the billionaires

18. Shut. Your. Fucking. Mouth.

    No one is going to pity you you traitor.

19. Notice how they framed this – that it’s destroying the lives of people fired. 

    It’s destroying democracy you dumbass. It’s destroying your children’s future. It’s destroying our national security. 

    These smug assholes in DOGE think they’re “doing something”. It is easy to destroy things – it takes almost no effort. Building anything is hard. They don’t know how to do that. It’s just wreck and pillage. 

20. Trump is acting like he secured 90% of the popular vote. He doesn’t realize he barely edged Kamala and can’t afford to piss off this many people. I just hope he gets a reminder in the midterms.

21. That’s cute that this fool thought he was smart enough to make the government better. He is a waste and voted for a fraud.

22. > “I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason.”

    This person is a fucking idiot and deserved yo be fired. Any person capable of having a casino go bankrupt has no business acumen.

23. “It destroyed MY life, so now it’s an issue” – every Republican ever

24. Zero sympathy for those that voted for Trump and are personally facing reality. Get fucked.

25. Let them reap what they sowed at the soon to be defunct unemployment line. 

26. Thankful there are some feel good stories in these trying times.
