77 million Americans voted to send 480,000 veterans to the unemployment line

Above: When I tried to share--with Musk's Twitter / X followers--the fact that many veterans would become unemployed due to the purge being conducted by Trump, Musk, DOGE, and the GOP, my Twitter / X account was suspended. This appears to be a well-used to tactic to silence critics. See for example, here, here, and here. (My screenshot above)

Above: Meanwhile, Musk is allowed to raise the possibility of bringing back a member of DOGE who engaged in terribly racist comments. He also peddles an enormous amount of misinformation to rile up his Twitter / X followers. Why was his account not suspended? Oh yeah, because he owns Twitter / X. It's good to be the king!

America votes for, and social media cheers on, the layoff of 480,000 veterans

Currently, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, DOGE, and the larger Republican Party are trying to purge the federal workforce and dismantle most of our federal government. Most people probably don't know that about one-third of the federal workforce consists of veterans. And, as the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) recently pointed out:

"The federal government is the single largest employer of veterans in this country. There are currently 2.278 million civilian federal employees and nearly 30 percent of them are veterans. If DOGE follows through on proposed threats, and lays off 75 percent of the federal workforce, an estimated 481,950 veterans will be laid off... The pain that DOGE would inflict on America’s veterans would not end there. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) employs nearly 371,000 health care professionals and support staff at VA medical facilities across the country. It is also responsible for administering benefits programs for Veterans, their families, and survivors. A 75 percent reduction in staff, about 278,000 total employees, would cripple the services currently provided to veterans in the U.S."

When I shared this information with Musk's Twitter / X followers & commenters, before my account was suspended, they didn't seem to care. But when Musk posts something about shutting a government agency down, the responses are nearly always along the lines of "Yes!" "Crush it!" "Get rid of it all!" "Way to go DOGE!" "Musk is a hero!" "Finally we're getting transparency!" And the latter-type of comment is ironic, because no one knows exactly what DOGE is doing - they simply post screenshots of things on Twitter / X, make hysterical and unverifiable claims about government contracts, and write something like, "deleted." 

As of February 7, 2025, there is nothing on DOGE's website - no mission statement, no outline of methods, no list or bios of staff, and no reports to evaluate - absolutely, 100% nothing. And still the Twitter / X folks cheer and scream in self-righteous exaltation. (Trust me, it's a WILD thing to witness if you haven't already.)

Yes, 77 million Americans voted to send 480,000 veterans to the unemployment line, and many on social media are cheering it on, howling with delight. 

The pure wickedness of these days, the sadistic desire to see others in fear and pain, is something I'll never forget.
