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

www.nj.com Trump voter shocked to get fired by DOGE: It’s ‘destroying people’s lives'

"A wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason.”

Summary

IRS worker Robert McCabe, a Trump voter, expressed shock after being among 7,000 laid off by DOGE, an initiative under the Trump administration led by Elon Musk.

McCabe stated DOGE is acting like a “wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason.”

The layoffs, targeting probationary employees with less than a year of service, affect hundreds at the IRS and are part of a broader effort to shrink the federal workforce.

The cuts raise concerns about impacts on tax collection during a critical season.

Reap what you sow- MAGA

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.

My face! The leopards! The goggles! They do nothing!

You were only supposed to destroy other people's lives!

"I didn't think the leopards were going to eat MY face" - says the person that voted for the Leopards Eating Faces party

Imagine working with the IRS, voting with the party that has said for years they want to defund the IRS, and then being surprised when that party attacks the IRS. I don’t fucking understand these people at all. They truly live a life devoid of reality. They are incapable of considering real world consequences.
Truly to be a conservative is to lack imagination.
- They believe they are special. My job is important so it wont get cut. My abortion was just because it could have caused health problems for me. I deserved unemployment/medicaid because i paid into it.
  It is not imagination but empathy they lack until it effects their lives.
- And any type of reason, critical thinking, compassion, empathy, or most other basic human emotions.
- Just like anyone in a union that voted for Trump, or any woman. I don't know what they expected.
  
  In the union we were always taught to vote with your wallet. Every meeting during elections I heard it. Still, every other guy would be on about voting for Trump. Can't fix stupid.
- Imagination, empathy, intelligence, a soul, basic communication skills, and any level of emotional maturity.
  
  Don't dehumanize people who disagree with you, this is the wrong path.

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've been wondering the same thing.
- him also misunderstanding what the "wrecking ball" does?

I didn’t think the Leopards would terminate my employment!

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.

No kidding you voted for the person that said he wanted to hurt people.

„He came in like a wrecking baaaaaaaall“

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.

Oh look! It’s your cake and now you can eat it too!
- Sorry, no eggs
  
  Die Eier von Satan
- You won. Now deal with it.

When he said he was coming for everybody but you thought he'd make an exception for you.

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.

It hurt itself in its confusion

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!!
- Save the leopards
