Summary

Jennifer Piggott, a self-proclaimed “MAGA junkie” from Parkersburg, West Virginia, regrets voting for Donald Trump after being fired from the Bureau of Fiscal Service during widespread cuts under DOGE.

Despite earning top performance reviews, she was among 125 civil service workers dismissed, sparking local outrage.

Piggott expressed disappointment, saying she expected Trump to protect working-class jobs.

A federal judge ordered reinstatement, but the Trump administration appealed to the Supreme Court, leaving affected workers on paid leave.

Piggott has faced vandalism and threats after speaking out.

    That’s so weird because I expected the rapid onset of a dystopian hellscape so I don’t know, Jennifer, what do you think went wrong?

      Damn it’s almost like we both observed objective reality instead of sticking our heads straight up MAGA’s asshole for the entire election.
