Summary

Donald Trump reinstated “Schedule F” via executive order, reclassifying thousands of federal employees as political appointees, making them easier to fire.

The move reverses protections reinstated by Joe Biden in 2021, which aimed to prevent partisan interference in civil service.

This aligns with Project 2025, a plan to replace career civil servants with ideologically aligned personnel.

Critics warn this could degrade government performance, reduce trust, and increase corruption.

While legal challenges are expected, experts believe Schedule F is likely constitutional but will face strong opposition in courts and beyond.

        ANYTHING!

        (Gestures wildly to every point in history where democracy was fought for)

        You’ve got 3 firearms per person, fucking use them and stop acting helpless.

            1. Not an anarchist, socialist democracy enthusiast.

            2. Rent my own place and contribute to society.

            3. I’m dealing with issues in my own country and therefore getting my own house in order. Sort your own house out or stop whining that you’re wallowing in sadness and garbage.

            You don’t have to take up arms, but that’s a huge risk when confronting those whom have and want to end your democracy.

            Just do SOMETHING: join one protest, or distribute one leaflet, or donate one time to an organisation that’ll be resisting against the orange fuck.

              I mean, what hoity toity bullshit that you think you can tell someone else what to do when you can’t handle your own shit. Come on over here and solve all of our problems, asshole. You’re very welcome to. Sounds like you have other stuff to deal with. Just shut up.

                Correction, I’m handling my own shit whereas you’re unwilling to handle yours, and thus we arrive back at my original point: do something about your shit and stop expecting someone else to do it for you.

                Lazy.

                  Who’s expecting you to do anything? When have you ever done anything? I promise, nobody in America is counting on your dumbass to do anything for them. Just sit there and observe. You’ll probably learn something.

                    You, in your last reply…? Let me quote you:

                    Come on over here and solve all of our problems, asshole.
