MAGA’s revenge of the mediocre: Trump’s war on federal workers targets the meritorious

Instead of actually appearing to hear before the Judicial Committee, Cash Patel He should have pushed a TV playing a video of “I wasn’t” on a six -hour episode. Donald Trump’s candidate for the FBI presidency It has a good and well -documented history for being a conspiracy view. However, when he faced his own words by Democrats in the Senate, he denied everything with the narrator’s cheating of the Shaggy and Rikrok 2000 song. Democrats were clearly frustrated by highlighting Patel, but one should feel even enthusiastically 40,000 An employee of the FBI who is likely to work soon with this unfortunate man. It is clear that Trump chose him as a direct insult to them, Especially since the mysterious lying about the FBI agents is the preferred situation Patille conspiracy content. This session comes on a two -week tail of Trump, launching a comprehensive war on unknown employees to a large extent at the FBI and the Grand Ministry of Justice, from Pardon more than 1500 Capitol riots to Prosecutors who shot Trump Try the coup.

The Ministry of Justice has become strongly evading, but this is just a part of Trump’s efforts to purify the federal government of employees who do anything but fight wars and deport migrants. He – she I started to launch workers and instructions “Dei” Anyone else comes out of co -workers to provide pro -diversity views. Seventeen illegal inspectors were fired illegally. There were rising ads about illegal financing, It reached its climax in a heinous effort to stop most of the federal scholarships And loans, which were such disasters that forced Trump to walk. Then the Federal workers obtained an email, which was clearly copied from the similar billionaire Illon Musk campaign against Twitter employees, Pressing them to resign and indicates that they can be expelled If they do not.

All this is woven by the Trump administration as an effort to save money and reduce government “waste”, but no one should be deceived. Sadia these efforts lie to the psychological damage that motivates people such as Musk and Russas, Author 2025 project nominated Trump to run Management and Budget Office (OMB). Maga is definitely a racist and sexual movement, but it is also a movement of fatwas that proceeds in people who remember their skills and talents Maga in their colors of insecurity. There is no more clear place than it was in Maga’s unplanned hate for federal workers, a group that is largely known for being modest and serious work, and reminds Maga leaders of their lack of basic virtues.

Musk spent months now, under the auspices of the leadership of the “Ministry of Governmental efficiency” An endless festivals with his followers on Twitter About how federal workers are supposed to be lazy parasites. There is an unambiguous protest-of great quality of this mania, its source is not mysterious. Who others are among a group of losers who have enough time to sit on Twitter Blikh about the fake life of Bureaucrats? Certainly not federal employees, who have no time to Bhatern because they are busy financing medical research, organizing infrastructure improvements or food safety examination.

Vough is not famous But its general manifestation is fueled by the same thing Hitting people who Disturbing him by being smartand Be good in their jobs, or Lack of a handful of strange sexual suspension. The lower activists pretend that their allies are registered He boasted about his secret plans 2025 plans last year. While the result is no doubt that there is a real power – there is also an element of comedy heading to the yearning until it is super. This is Reading was shot from the discount of renovation In all videos created by the 2025 project, it aims to train Trump’s political appoinals on how to bullify their arrangement. The main tone of videos is Whiny, where the hosts complain to the end that vocational federal employees look at them. The external viewer will sympathize with federal workers, of course, because it is impossible not to turn your eyes on these Trump’s clowns.

The hatred of federal workers is part of the Great Maga hostility towards scientists, academics, artists, journalists, or anyone who has developed experience in any field other than the artist. Many federal functions, especially the bureaucratic offices that are most targeted through potential cleansing, are filled with people who spent years to become experts in what they are doing. In contrast, Trump’s political appointments are the celebration of gathering and intellectual endurance. there Defense Minister Beit HigsethWho appeared to have been expelled from every job that had almost a role in the role of being an alternative to Fox News. or Candidate of the Secretary HHS Robert Kennedy, Whose medical certificate comes from the Al -Harada School. Or reality TV star Sean Duffy, who was not qualified to manage the transport department, is completely shown on Thursday after a fatal plane crashed in the capital

Thank you, the real world: Boston Sean Duffy.

People responsible for the administration put Federal employees, as noted in the future“So experienced that their qualifications appear to be a surreal joke.” WIRED mentioned this week that driving in Trump The Personnel Management Office (OPM), which controls employment in the entire federal bureaucracy, includes a 21 -year -old billionaire trainee of billionaire technology, Peter Thil and musk trainee who graduated from high school in May. Yes, this means that he is still a literal teenager. Trump also appointed the OPM lawyer Who tweets things like “I need a woman who looks like a punch” and “the slaves owe to us compensation.” The goal of all of this is to attach a lot of mediocrity and not to mature the federal workers who resigned.

The good news is that revenge seems to be backward, at least in some cases.

Anonymous posters on the Reddit Council for Federal employees They were training each other to stay in its position and not to surrender to childhood bullying. One of the posters wrote: “I will continue to perform my job until someone gets me out.” “You can tell President Trump that if he needs me, I will be in my office !!!!!” Another books. “It took 10 years of progress and 20 years of experience in my country’s field to get here,” a woman added. “I will not be pushed by two billionaires of billionaires,” I am supposed to talk about Musk and Trump, both of whom originated by the wealthy parents.

Fetish to raise what is not worthy of a worthy, almost unique in relation to Maga. The historian Ruth Bin Ghghayat was also written in the New York Times this weekType in the history of the inexperienced and unqualified history of those who know what to do. Part of it is that it is easier to extract loyalty from the losers, or as Ben Ghatiyat puts it accurately, “Individuals may depend on the leader and weakness of the influence of the leader’s allies.” But it is also about this fascist’s grudge towards the most intelligent or more skilled people. Journalist Dorothy Thompson noticed this when she saw Adolf Hitler:

He is almost an unidentified, anonymous, a man who is a caricature, a man who looks like a herniated workforce, without bones. It is inappropriate and insoluble, unfamiliar, unsafe. It is the primary model of a young man.

I also wrote a famous article It is called “Who is the Nazi?” Harper in 1941It focused on the amount of fascist desire that roots in the desire of the loser for simple revenge. “Believe me, good people who do not go to the Nazis,” she wrote, suggested instead to attract empty people. “Those who do not have anything in them to tell them what they love and what they do-whether reproduction, happiness, wisdom, or symbol, no matter how old or modern, go to the Nazis,” concluded.

In this unbalanced assault on federal workers, we can again see the truth in Thompson’s observations. There is no doubt that actual federal workers are a varied handful, and some are not great people, just as with any organization. But the concept of the federal worker has a great symbolic resonance, as the icons of people who work hard and serve their country – not for great salaries or fame, but simply because they can and the right thing to do. The image of the self -effect that does not come from anything more than just a good work, where for any reason, it is not possible to find such security in itself. So they are separated from the idea of ​​efficiency that causes their madness. Unfortunately, the real people – the natural, the incomplete, but often real people – will pay the price of this psychological maja.
