I hate the voting choices of Trump voters, but I don't think they all voted for this. They largely voted against immigration, inflation and probably a fair amount are annoyed by DEI and trans rights. That sucks and I disagree with them, but I don't think most of them hate federal workers.[/quote]

This is important to remember.  [b]Most of the feds I know that voted for trump were single issue voters - immigration (particularly hispanics). [/b]And to be fair the democrats were in fact terrible on immigration (or at least had the appearance of being terrible).  Their news bubble wasn't reporting on project 2025 or the whole fascism thing, just migrant crime.[/quote]

If a Fed voted for Trump then they have no leg to stand on if they’re unhappy about all this. [/quote]

Exactly. I didn’t follow the Trump campaign too closely, but I didn’t see this extreme cut as one of the main issues. Also I didn’t even suspect Elon would be this involved until a couple weeks before the election. He has no business treating federal employees like his tech workers.[/quote]

The problem I have with this is the "to be fair the democrats were in fact terrible on immigration." No, they were not.

Biden deported a LOT of people. He worked cooperatively with Mexico. The dems found enough common ground to get a bipartisan bill worked out with R's on immigration. Trump and his sycophants tanked it.

Further, Trump did absolutely NOTHING his first term on immigration.

I'm tired of giving people a pass for being willfully ignorant and not learning about the issues. And instead just swallowing talking points. The folks who believe this get no pass from me.[/quote]

To me it is not about giving people "a pass". But hating them doesn't help me. People voted for Trump for a variety of reasons. I don't think hating federal workers was at the top of the list for most regular Trump voters.[/quote]
