[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a Fed family, I am hoping we can turn the tide. To do this, we need to think from the other's point of view and what it looks like from their perspective. I read Fednews Reddit and it breaks my heart to see so many talented, hardworking people lose jobs. As I read the news and these posts, this is how it looks like to the average American:

Musk/Trump: We are firing lazy Fed workers. Cutting costs and eliminating fraud. We would send 20% of savings as DOGE dividend checks to every individual.

Fed Workers: You are uneducated and do not understand the important work we do. Because you don't read and are in a MAGA bubble. Dont you realize it is racists who are supporting Musk/Trump?

Who is going to be more persuasive of the two? [/quote]

Yes, the truth isn't pretty. We (the non MAGAs) need to find a way to repackage the truth for the idiots who like shiny objects.

Polling out today shows most people oppose mass firings and cuts of federal employees. Only the less than 40% of the population who’s MAGA supports it.[/quote]

Agree, I saw those poll results too.  People didn't vote for this and people don't want this.

Trump made no secret of his plans to decimate Feds. They absolutely voted for this.[/quote]

People who voted for Trump that I know did so bc of immigration and the economy. Maybe government waste and fraud was in their top 10 concerns but mass firing of employees for no logical reason was not what they voted for and doesn’t solve waste or fraud. [/quote]

People who voted for Trump fall into 2 categories. The stupid, or the hateful. There is a middle overlap of that Venn Diagram. He and his ilk were very clear about their plans, and anyone who voted for Trump (or didn't vote at all, or voted for Stein) have lost the right to compain.

The main reason people support trump his messaging that the US is being ripped off and being taken advantage of.  He has been saying the exact same thing since the 90's.  Look up his interview with Oprah.

Everything else is noise.

I did not vote for Trump.

People support Trump for many reasons. Elite snobnishess is at the top of the list - absolute disregard for the plight of lower income Americans from the huge increase in illegal immigration, ESG, wrapping everything in DEI, etc. I held my nose and voted for Kamala. It was a close call. We now know that Biden is not even mentally alert for the last year and everyone in his inner circle and all the major newspapers lied through their teeth. Democrats have turned off a vast segment of the population and they revolted by voting for Trump.
