A Shift in Perspective
Many former government employees who supported Trump are now expressing dismay after losing their jobs due to the administration's policies. The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, has reportedly let go of over 62,000 federal workers in February alone.
Voices of Discontent
Ironically, several of those affected are Trump voters who feel targeted by these job cuts. Here are some of their stories shared on the r/LeopardsAteMyFace subreddit:
- A veteran father who supported Trump but was recently fired from the VA.
- A woman who hung a Trump campaign sign outside her house but was abruptly fired from her civil service job.
- A Gen Z Trump-voter worried about the uncertainty surrounding their partner’s government job as the sole provider.
- A veteran advocating for a protest against the mass firing of veterans.
- A self-described "devoted supporter" of Trump seeking advice after being laid off from the General Services Administration.
- A Trump-voting ex-federal worker wishing they had voted for Kamala Harris instead.
- A federal employee angry about the narrative that federal workers are lazy and worthless.
- A Trump voter fired from their federal job, criticizing the administration's lack of concern for the damage caused by job cuts.
