Text from article:
David Rice, a disabled Army paratrooper who has been on probation since joining the U.S. Department of Energy in September, also learned Thursday night that he had lost his job.
Rice, who has been working as a foreign affairs specialist on health matters relating to radiation exposure, said he’d been led to believe that his job would likely be safe. But on Thursday night, when he logged into his computer for a meeting with Japanese representatives, he saw an email saying he’d been fired.
“It’s just been chaos,” said Rice, 50, who had just bought a house in Melbourne, Florida, after he got the job.
Rice said he agrees with the Trump administration’s goal of making the government more efficient, but objects to the random, scattershot approach being taken.

This is the first I’ve seen of a conservative Lemmy community. God willing it is the last I see of one as well. At this point I unironically believe Lemmy needs a healthy amount of tankies so that right-wingers know they’re not welcome here~ ❤️
That’s mean to say but I’m trying to switch over from Reddit and I’m honestly just so done with MAGA stinking up every damn space it’s insane, I don’t want them to even breathe in my direction. With RFK Jr as the recent pick for the Department of Health and Human Services, I just might need to enforce that boundary literally.
Reminds me of this

I’ve had a very difficult time differentiating tankies from trumpers.
From what I’ve seen, any “conservative” community on Lemmy is 2 or 3 troll accounts that make up 90% of posts. Why would far right people use Lemmy when Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook are so welcoming to them?
Just to get a reaction, which so far seems to be getting down voted into oblivion.
But they probably get off on the down votes.
Owning the libs. Getting them so triggered.
