Huh, fired? For what cause?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

Oh don't worry about that -they're reclassifying then as at-will first. Which is the crookedest hiring policy ever. We have it here in Illinois and it's total bullshit.

The BS reason they gave is in the article. We all know the real reason is that they aren't loyal to Dear Leader.

A criminal is the head of the governing body that makes the laws. Why even bother asking why he's not following them?

The only thing that Americans can do is obvious and yet all I've seen online is finger wagging and "hot takes". Fucking embarassed for you.

If we protest we lose our jobs which means we lose our healthcare. Are you beginning to see how they have us by the balls?

There's a reason every American was raised on the mantra of "violence is never the answer" and "if you fight back you're just as bad."

If only there was an amendment for that very situation...

"I didn't know he could do that."

Remember when they admonished Biden's administration for not firing anyone after the Afghanistan evacuation? Yeah that's all Republicans want, to fire people. Well actually they might go after these guys.

They want to purge all dissenters. They only want people in power who are loyal to the cause. Stop me if you've heard this one.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

This is just the start. He's going to purge every competent person who believes in the national mythology / shows an ounce of backbone and replace them with incompetent yes men. These people tend to be very intelligent, resourceful, and well-connected. I don't think this will be the last we see of them. Something tells me that giving a whole lot of people who plotted the overthrows of multiple foreign governments lots of time off together maybe isn't his most brilliant idea yet.

Straight from the Project 2025 manual. It's crazy that I tried to get people to read it before the election and I got called a conspiracy theorist, but here he is actually executing the plan and these same people just deny it's happening. I can't help but think they prefer to be ignorant.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Unfortunately it's always a conspiracy theory until it's put into action. But by then it's too late...

It's exactly like the Nazi problem. To most people they aren't officially Nazis until we're literally being shipped into death camps. Anything that happens before that is just "awkward waves" and "political disagreements."

:(

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

I guarantee that they STILL won't be Nazis to those people even then. There is ALWAYS an excuse.

Yep, had republicans I know believe Trump when he said he knew nothing about P2025, now here they are following it to the letter.
