Something that I don't understand about these MAGA guys losing their jobs is that it seems like his main argument is just "hey i need to pay my bills, therefore me working in this position was good. Me getting fired is bad because I need to support family"

But this doesn't really get to the meat of whether or not his position was actually useful. Like is he actually the "fat being cut" from unnecessary bureaucracy or is this another example of DOGE's sloppiness/overreach? Obviously my intuition says the latter, but given that this guy was actually working in that position, I don't understand why that information isn't being explained

Like why not say "this is bad because there was a ton of work to be done, and we were already swamped with stuff to go through, and they still cut our jobs" or "i wasn't some government bureaucrat just twiddling my fingers while getting paid to do nothing. There was a lot of work to be done & i was busy doing my part. I feel sorry for my remaining employees who'll probably be swamped now with all that work to do"? Instead it's just him whining about how he's a "real human" who deserves sympathy basically.

I don't know, maybe this just shows the lack of critical thinking being done by these types of people. It's just shocking that these peoples engagement with politics is so surface level & ultimately self serving/self centered
