Summary
IRS worker Robert McCabe, a Trump voter, expressed shock after being among 7,000 laid off by DOGE, an initiative under the Trump administration led by Elon Musk.
McCabe stated DOGE is acting like a “wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason.”
The layoffs, targeting probationary employees with less than a year of service, affect hundreds at the IRS and are part of a broader effort to shrink the federal workforce.
The cuts raise concerns about impacts on tax collection during a critical season.
He’ll probably vote for him again next term, where Trump will win with 88% of the vote.
I know they don’t really care about laws or what’s legal but this is his last 4 years unless they go full on mask off dictator. So far, he’s doing a bang up job trying to position himself as such.
I don’t think that’s clear by any means.
They’re implementing the machinery for authoritarian control.
It wouldn’t be hard for him to do that with so much support from… well pretty much everyone.
