I can honestly say I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as a federal worker.

Right now I'm working on my resume. I'm open to work, preferably in finance as I have my accounting degree. If you know of anyone hiring please let me know.

As I have mentioned before, please do not post your political beliefs as I am not interested in debates or opinions. During this time, please remember that government employees are workers at risk of losing their job. It's scary as most of us have dedicated our careers to government and government operations is all that most of us know and now will be forced to look outside for other options and start over. No matter which side everyone is one, no one wants to lose their job so please be mindful of this. Remember that government employees are humans too and it is a very scary time for most of us and our families.

dehumanizing people is the first step on the road to genocide.

if you could click your fingers and everyone who voted Trump died, regardless of how they now feel about it, would you do it?

I gave this some thought.

Yes, I would do that.

Do you know how many problems that would solve middle and long-term? Yes, there would be short-term disruptions... a lot of short-term disruptions.

A huge chunk of the problem billionaires would be gone- literally all of the billionaires who own the major media outlets in the US would be gone. The Republican party would cease to exist instantly. There would be a precipitous drop in the number of the belligerently stupid and easily manipulated.

I did not dehumanize them. they did. I'm pissed about it.

every one? I dunno. I don't value human life very much, so maybe, but im certain a lot of them were just sloppy idiots with zero forethought, I expect not even a majority were to the point they were unrecoverable. every qanon? yes.

I expect not even a majority were to the point they were unrecoverable.

So they're not unrecoverable, but we still shouldn't treat them like humans?

you're being disingenuous, read what I said.
