    David Nicholas, a Republican voter in Port St. Lucie, Fla., expressed sympathy for those federal workers, but said he still backs the DOGE effort.

    “I’ve been laid off before different times over the years, and nobody really [cared] about my feelings or anything like that,” said the poll respondent, who is not a government worker

    /facepalm

      Yeah well wait until the day his dumbass realizes why things are taking longer than they should, why things don’t have a lot of safeguards and everything. It’ll be because of the firing of those federal workers. Does this moron have his own IRS, his own education department, energy and more. Yeah he’s got it all figured it out, I bet, the fucking loon.

        everything you said, plus…

        • the economic impact of these layoffs that will not be picked up by private enterprise
        • the loss of social support services for people laid off (including folks like him) while looking for work

        its like these people have been hit with the stupid stick for the past 40 years. then I think of the likes of rush limbaugh and I guess they really have.

    Despite how many times James Carville screeches that we should all just take a nap till the 2028 election…

    All it would take is a handful of elected Republicans refusing to toe the line.

    Luckily tho the new DNC chair seems to understand that, and rather then yelling at Dem voters to stick their head in the sand, he’s out there going on local news in red/purple districts talking directly to voters. 9 years of only paying attention to the presidency and robbing state parties seems to finally be over.

    “Rushing change” is a glorious example of “liberal” media sane washing a fascist coup burning the guardrails to the ground.
