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.

i know that, i mean among the working class. tolerance for listening to a friend spouting nazi shit and fascist shit has been pretty low until recently, dogwhistles not withstanding. i mean there's a reason they dogwhistle so much, it's because their views are roundly rejected and they get bullied when they don't hide their beliefs

if that level of hate, aggression, suppression, etc. isn't enough to prevent the rise of fascism, it won't be enough to slow or stop it either. we need different tactics

I would argue that americans are pretty okay with fascism, but just don't like the aesthetics of being seen as the bad guys.
