obviously this applies to trump voters but if you've ever worked for an organization that has hired someone to "cut costs" or "streamline," like half of the workers get giddy with excitement
I think it's kind of the inevitable result of 40 years of right wing propaganda about Government in general with no substantial pushback. Even Democrats haven't been unapologetically pro government since what the 1960s
I think that's part of it but the feeling has definitely bled over to non government work where a good portion of the population assumes they are the only ones producing any value, and that that value will be immediately recognized when the reckoning happens.
I like to play poker and sometimes a tilted player will join the table and say “I’m going all in every hand until i bust”, and every time I’ve seen that, half the table acts surprised when he actually does it multiple hands in a row

Me reaping: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.
