Update from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/34685956

Unfortunately for our entertainment, her Facebook profile has been entirely purged of her MAGA history.

Transcript:

I’m officially unemployed. Today I was RIF’d from the government. It’s such a surreal and humbling moment; one that I knew was coming but secretly thought and wished would never happen. I started working for SBA in 2010 during my senior year of college. I came in as an emergency hire and was placed on the student career experience program. I worked in accounts payable for 14 years before moving to contracting in October. I worked remotely since 2017 when I was placed on a reasonable accommodation after shattering my kneecap while walking into work. I worked countless hours from different hospitals I was inpatient in from 2017-2023. I relied on work to get me through many difficult times in my life while I was alone in the hospital or angry at the universe. It kept me mentally sane for many years and gave me a purpose in life. I took a lot of pride over the team I managed and the work that we produced. I wouldn’t change one thing about my federal career and hope one day I can continue it.

For now, it is time to figure out what is next for me. To all my fellow government workers, I want to say it’s been a privilege being able to work with you. The government is full of a lot of highly intelligent and hard working individuals. I know that we will all be ok after the dust has settled and make a game plan for what is next. I have met so many great people in the government and hope the best for everyone!

For everyone that knows someone in the federal workforce, please check in on them. This is a scary and sad time for most of us and we are not ok at the moment and are faced with some scary unknown challenges that we have not faced before.

    Unfortunately for our entertainment, her Facebook profile has been entirely purged of her MAGA history.

    I view this as positive change. Why do you think she’d delete all those posts? If someone changes their mind about Trump, or realizes they’ve made a mistake, you need to respect them and celebrate them. Rubbing it in their face or trying to make them feel like shit is not going to accomplish anything productive

      Rubbing it in their face or trying to make them feel like shit is not going to accomplish anything productive

      This approach is the primary cause of everything getting worse. Didn’t punish the south enough for the civil war, so we got James Crow laws and other horrible shit thrown at black people to this day. Didn’t punish Nixon, pretended everything was fine with all the other shit stains instead of holding them accountable.

      No, this lady should be vilified for what she did. Letting her hide it just means that she can act like she is in it with everyone else when she lit the house on fire. All these MAGA supporters need to be shamed in public permanently.

        I don’t think they’re saying to completely forgive them. It’s just that them changing their mind is a positive change that should be acknowledged and celebrated. People can change for the better. Some people would still support Trump even when it hurts them.

          I haven’t seen anything to indicate she’s changed her mind. Not one “I was wrong”, no “I regret my vote”, nothing but whining about what’s happened to her.

              No, but I’ve seen several posts about her here. While I suppose it’s possible she’s made posts regretting her support of Trump that haven’t been posted here I tend to doubt it. You’d think something of that sentiment would be reflected in at least one of the posts that ends up here but I’ve seen nothing.

                Can confirm, she hasn’t posted anything negative about Trump or anything that indicates any amount of regret for how she voted. Just this stuff about how she doesn’t want to get political about anything.

      I appreciate your empathy and attempt at a positive change. However, keep in mind this is /c/leopardsatemyface. People are here specifically to see faces getting eaten.

    You know that makes me most Furious about that statement. That I know we will all be okay part. She doesn’t know that. Odds are someone’s not going to be okay. In fact it’s almost guaranteed. Someone’s going to lose their home over this. Someone’s going to go hungry over this. Someone’s kids are going to go hungry over this. Someone’s going to lose Health Care protection and maybe die from this directly. She blithely assumes that everything’s going to be okay when she has no fucking idea and should know better.

      Kind of shows how privileged she is by saying they’re facing unknowns they’ve never faced before. She voted for Trump to hurt others and now that she’s getting hurt, she’s very quick to point out just how human her and other government workers are

    I have found that ‘apolitical’ and ‘moderate’ actually means ‘conservative, but doesn’t want to have to defend their position or look bad.’

    Only those with detestable politics detest talking politics.

      Yeah she had no problem posting Trump supporting messages until she entered the Find Out stage.

    If anyone knows how to access non-public deleted Facebook posts, please let me know. I would love to share some of her past posts and pics of her and her husband wearing MAGA hats.

        Never intended to dox anyone. I’ve made sure to black out her husband and her name from all 3 posts. I personally was a big fan of the old Herman Cain Award-style of posting emojis over pictures so you could still see what was going on without including personal details.
