My MIL lost half the people she works with in the federal cuts. She’s been a massive massive trump supporter (wears maga hats in public, even in San Francisco, has a painting of trump in her house, etc), but the cuts shook her. She told me “I thought they were only going to fire the people who didn’t do anything!” And “but what we do is so important, why are they firing us?”
Now she’s very worried because her, her husband, and all of their children except my wife work for the federal government. And one of her son’s entire life is funded by Medicare (which republicans have made clear they want to gut to make room for tax cuts).
Of course, they blame musk and not trump, but even for diehards like them I’m starting to see some cracks. They still have “faith” in the Donald but I think it’s a shaky faith now. If things get bad enough people really may stop liking him. We’re not there yet tho.
