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.

    I guess this is the only way to break the spell on these people, one at a time?

    Have them lose their job and be miserable thanks to Republican policies?

    Also: I have just no idea how you could be working for the government and voting Republican. The Republicans have been for saying, for years, that they want to destroy government.

      No, the spell is broken when they enter the next phase of the human lifecycle, this is just a brief moment of clarity in the psychosis riddled mind of your average conservative.
