Dr. Jim: So what you saw right there is yet another video of a disaffected Trump voter who actually worked in the government.

And who was terminated as a result of the shenanigans by the fake agency, the Department of Governmental Efficiency. And what's interesting about this story as well as others like it, is the sense of shock and surprise that these people had when they found out that their jobs were eliminated. And the reason why this is surprising, and it's a bit of revisionist history on the part of these Trump voters, is that.

This has been telegraphed. You have a 40 year career track record that shows that this is the type of stuff that he does and the nerve of you to say that you're shocked that he would do this to the working class is really something to behold. Because think about it, this six times, bankrupted fake billionaire who is a pawn of the Kremlin, has had a history of.

And now you act like you're surprised that this actually took place. This should be no surprise. There was plenty of evidence. And actually over the last 10 years, we've talked about that on a fairly regular basis. This is somebody who's been sued over 4,000 times as a private businessman, and most often the biggest complaint against him has been nonpayment for services rendered. He's made a career out of screwing over the working class. And now you have the nerve to say that you were surprised that because you got laid off, you can't believe that this guy would be doing that to members of the working class. It is a beyond ridiculous claim to make.

You were expecting that cruelty to be laid on them and only them. But for some reason you thought you would be safe because you quote unquote, voted the right way, and now you're finding out that really he isn't some working class hero. He isn't somebody that is out to defend and save the white working class.

to any political candidate, [: 00:04:00

Vote yourself out of a jot. You just help those billionaires continue on the path to privatizing everything and making everything more expensive. And now you're crying on TV because you didn't know. Get outta here. We know that that whole, you didn't know narrative is just a bunch of bs.

You knew at some level you just were deluded enough or delusional enough to believe that it wouldn't impact you, and now that it is impacting you, you're crying. Cut it out and do something about it. This is the consequences of your vote, and this is the consequences of voting against your own interest.

And the only way things are gonna reverse is if you stop crying and get out on the front lines and actually push for change. This is all on you and you have nobody else to blame but yourself.
