Inland Maine = Alabama
Mainers speak out on social security cuts
Social Security beneficiaries, administration employees, and others gathered in Hallowell Tuesday to call on Maine's Congressional delegation to stop cuts to social security jobs and the program itself.www.wabi.tv
They are angry with plans by Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency to cut seven thousand jobs, and they’re concerned about the potential closure of the social security office in Presque Isle.
It’s the only one in Aroostook County, and its closure would force those who need services to drive to Bangor.

Aroostook County: +26 Trump.

Why these federal workers regret voting for Trump: 'This is not The Apprentice'
"I feel betrayed. This is not what I wanted, to let everybody lose their job," said a two-time Trump voter who works for Veterans Affairs.
lots in that article, but I like this one personally:
Marcia, 67, is another Trump voter who was fired from her federal job, and she said she feels "extremely let down."
"He was going to make prices lower. He was going to make gas cheaper. He was going to help the middle-class people in America," Marcia, who is seeking to reinstate her position, said.
The National Weather Service employee said that they voted for Trump because they wanted the country to return to how things were in 2019. Instead, they said, "This is just the most toxic environment I've ever seen."
The employee described feeling "hoodwinked" by the president. During the campaign, this person said that they trusted Trump when he said he had nothing to do with Project 2025, the conservative blueprint authored by the Heritage Foundation. Among other things, Project 2025 described breaking up the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which houses the National Weather Service.
Following the election, Trump nominated Russell Vought, a key architect of Project 2025, to lead the White House's Office of Management and Budget.
"I said, 'I'll believe Trump, he won't do everything in there,'" the National Weather Service worker said, "but then all of a sudden, everything is starting to come true."
...
Marcia said she felt confident in her vote back in November because of Trump's promises to boost the economy and crack down on border policy. But if she knew then what she knows now, she would never have cast that vote.
"I've been a Republican all my life, and this is the first time that a Republican president misled me," Marcia said "If I knew I was going to lose my job because Trump became president, no, I would not vote for him."

Many, many people warned that this is exactly what would happen if Trump was elected. I guess PT Barnum was right - there really is a sucker born every minute (and yes, I know he likely didn't say it, but no matter who said that it's still accurate.)

This is why I think Susan Collins will retire. She can't run away from this, and in any event doesn't seem to be trying.

Having your wife deported and never seeing her again is a small price to pay for making sure that a handful of transgender athletes don't play women's sports and that worthless government employees get the axe!I wish I was surprised, but I'm not.

Well they're both similar in their "inability to convey critical thinking" part.

Along similar lines... I assumed the electorate had just grown incredibly stupid when Trump won the pub nomination in the 2016 election. Now, after reading these storues, I wonder if the electorate has always been dumb, but Trump is the first politician to actively appeal to that stupidity. Like they say, birds of a feather...

It's also amazing how many of them claim to have believed the known liar when he claimed to not know if project 2025. It didn't take much effort to read about the heritage foundation (of course Zen believed the heritage foundation website statement claiming not to be quite Christian Nationalist) and understand their goals. They didn't hide them.
