Absolutely No One Has Sympathy For This MAGA Federal Worker's Meltdown Over Trump
by Michaela Bramwell · BuzzFeedPosted 5 minutes ago
It's no secret that under Donald Trump, the federal workforce has struggled. Multiple government shutdowns have led to workers going without pay, often with even more pressure to perform their jobs at the highest level.
One MAGA voter who claims to be a federal essential employee is melting down over the constant "disrespect" and "disregard" from the government, and their post is going viral on Reddit.
"The same leaders responsible for these shutdowns continue receiving their own salaries while using essential workers as political leverage."
"food and safety inspectors are part of the frontline defense protecting the public...if we fail, Americans get sick — or worse."
"yet despite the responsibility placed on us, federal workers are constantly told there is no room for meaningful pay raises..."
"I am ashamed that my presidential vote cast left me feeling this disappointed."
"I guess because it doesn't directly affect you, you don't care about other people's pain and suffering at the hands of this administration."
"Imagine going to work every day not knowing when you'll be paid."
The post has garnered hundreds of comments, and many responders have expressed little sympathy.
"Oooops. Looks like I voted myself out of existence...."
"Isn't it interesting how when you vote in the party that believes that most government agencies are incompetent and should be dismantled and replaced with private labor, you get leaders who don't respect the hard work government agencies do?"
"I will never understand the civil service voting for the party that fucking hates their guts. This one is even more baffling than Latinos for Trump."
"Civil servants who voted for this guy have to be the -DUMBEST- of the dumb. 'I don't understand why this is happening to us!' Really? Because I spent the last 8 years telling you this guy and his party are evil and greedy and hate you."
"Vote for the party that campaigned on cutting government waste that would clearly mean government jobs, and is shocked that government jobs and work are not respected."
"So now the food inspector becomes food for the leopards."
