The fact that such an obviously false pretext is being used and accepted by so many followers is one of the most depressing parts of all of this. It is incredibly clear that this is not about saving money or balancing the governments finances, but so many people blindly believe whatever Elon or Trump tells them. At this point I'm not sure there's any limit to what their followers will believe and support, which is extremely chilling.

Also, the voting base seems to hate the fact that federal workers tend to enjoy a lot more stability in their job than private sector workers do. What boggles my mind is that the feds were made into political enemies so quickly and the public had zero empathy for the callous method that they were fired in. Meanwhile, in Dec 2024, you didn't see the level of bile aimed at the feds like you see it today. And worse, very few people seem to realize that they've been politically hoodwinked. They'll simply retcon their belief that they've always disliked the feds that much, and their guy is finally giving them their just rewards.
