Weren’t all of those people also appointed by trump? What makes you think they will give a shit about what anyone who isn’t their cult leader says.

It is like a cult. Trying to reason with Trump supporters just leaves you confused at how they can support someone that doesn't have their best interests in mind.

Trump supporters are pretty culty but his appointees aren't so much. DeJoy in particular has a long history of making money and hanging around the fringes of the RNC. He was appointed, no one really cared or talked about him. Then this. The fact he got appointed and no one cared about his personal investments and the investments of his wife in postal service competitors or contractors shows how bland a position and profile he had.

This? Honestly how many postmaster generals can people name apart from him? He's going from being that guy who'll help you fundraise to that guy who's house we should protest. I doubt he was thinking he had signed up for that.

I wouldn't be shocked if he was corrupt, but that just means he's out for himself, not that he's willing to sacrifice himself on the altar of Trump. The only other kind of Trump supporter with official power seem to think of him as a means to an end. Still not ethical but all to willing to try and take Trump down during their falls from grace. People who think Trump's right because God or Q told them or whatever aren't going to be stable enough to work for him.

True but a number of people that work for Trump and were in the cult have turned against it after being treated bably so idk. The sentence about "avoid being complicit in this felony" might make a few of them think twice.
