Trump supporters like to frame themselves as the patriotic ones. Voting for this is the opposite of patriotism. I am livid.

Clarifying: It’s the *non-Trump supporters* who are being fired and are the ones being “caught up” — due to their colleague’s decision to vote for him.

Nervous Musk, Trump, Vance have all been outclassed in public arguments these last few days. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular. People are starting to realize that there is no truth here beyond the desire for personal wealth and power. (2/2)

Also, the “performance” part is especially insulting and rich. I hope a class action lawsuit is brewing. Take ALL his money.

Also, WHO exactly is determining that these highly skilled public servants are “not a fit?” Musk? Big Balls? A 19 year old incel and Musk sycophant?

Such blatant disregard for these people, their livelihoods, their families. The anxiety and stress of waiting to hear if you’ll have a job tomorrow.

This isn’t novel. We saw this during the first go-round. I’d just forgotten, temporarily. Yeah, doing something > than yelling about people not doing something.

I was thinking about this in the context of a podcaster (because I’m one of them) and wondering “what would people podcast about if this whole thing went away?” Then I realized, ‘maybe some folks don’t want it to go away.’ Problem solving doesn’t pay. Yelling about a problem, does.

None for him specifically, but a lot of good people are being caught up in this mess…

In the comments, they are saying these women are “beautiful” and “classy, that they look happy, and that Black people are excellent entrepreneurs. It’s just fascinating how they can concede that Black people can have positive qualities as long as they support Trump.
