BuzzFeed Finds Government Worker Who Experiences FAFO Along With Some Other Trump Voters. [1]

Digby first brought this to my attention, but the original source is from BuzzFeed. Seems they asked some folks who voted for Donald Trump what he could do to lose their support. Well, we have the wife of one government worker who President Elon Musk purged, and it seems that she is not happy with the leopards eating her face:

6."We voted for border security. We didn't vote for my husband to lose his government career and benefits for which he has worked so hard." "This possibility is looming over countless families right now. We don't know what our financial future holds. My husband dedicated the better part of his life to this country, first in the military and now working for the government. I have watched as he busted his ass every single day for this job. Our story is like many others, yet they [the Trump Administration] see them as budget line items. We are not a fucking line item. We are real people with families who need to put food on the table just like everyone else. We have done nothing but support this country. To be disregarded and tossed out to save a buck is sickening. I support Trump on many things, but I won't support him on this. He has already lost my support." —anonymous

As some of you know, I’m a government employee, until Musk gets to purging my position that is. And no, it does NOT surprise me that there are government employees who voted for Trump. I know at least a couple at the Census Bureau, and one is an elderly woman who thinks that Trump did a great job in his first term. NO, I have not talked to those folks lately, nor am I going to, even if I got the chance.

But once again, I have no empathy for the above woman or her husband. The BuzzFeed article demonstrates that most Trump voters wanted one thing to happen with their votes: SOMEONE ELSE HAD TO GET HURT! The highest priority target for pain and suffering, just like this woman and her husband wanted, were undocumented immigrants to be deported. Next up was the LGBTQ community.

Frankly, I have to admit to some surprise to the woman and her husband though. My initial read of Trump cultists is that they were more than willing to risk life and limb for Trump. I still remember people who attended crowded indoor rallies during COVID-19 pandemic. As I have stated before, I remember being shocked that a woman who lost her father to COVID-19 didn’t blame Trump at all for his death. She still wanted to attend Trump’s rallies.

But it seems I was wrong. The woman in this BuzzFeed article doesn’t want to face homelessness and starvation for Trump. She is going to get to see Trump try and deport more of those disgusting “illegal aliens,” so I thought she would be satisfied with that at least. But there is no pleasing some people.

Anyway, some of the other Trump voters are still all in on Trump, while others are realizing that the sharp pain they are feeling in their faces are fangs from leopards. I suggest you give it a read. It’s going to be a long four years.
