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.

    Re: gay conservatives

    I was reading something the other day and white gay men are so normalized now (and I mean, that’s the goal!) that some of them consider themselves to be out of the LGBTQ+ movement because they don’t want to be dragged down with the others as their rights are being eroded.

    It’s disgusting.

      Yeah, just sad honestly if that is the case. It’s pretty typical though with most conservatives I have talked with, it’s this mentality of lifting your self up by your boot straps and not really caring about others. Which to me is a solely selfish and greedy outlook for any community as a whole. The problem with this though is they forget that alot of the rights that will inevitably be stripped away was a team effort going back for decades. Same thing applies to the immigrants that are conservative and cheer on whats happening in relation to immigration except these folks will have the leopard eating their faces alot sooner.
