I always wonder how many caught up in these federal mass firings voted for Trump. I can't imagine they could've foreseen this outcome.
USAID was probably a stronghold of Dem voters, but what about the Dept. of Agriculture, or the Forest Service?

Isn’t a criticism of democracy that individuals vote for their immediate benefit (MY job, MY housing) with no consideration of longer term consequences?
I suppose they're involuntarily practicing a high form of civic virtue, although that doesn't pay off the mortgage.
I didn’t say anything about virtue. You’re probably right that they didn’t fully anticipate changes.
But what bothers me is that hypocrisy accusation avoids making a claim about what would actually be a good or bad policy.
Do you want federal cut backs or not?

The right-leaning people caught up in this would probably say "Yes, but not in my obviously highly efficient division."
What do you say?
