"Well, yes, if 'very big' means destroying much of the federal government, allying with Putin against our traditional allies, and putting high tariff walls around America. …

Civil servant Jennifer Piggott lost her job in February due to Musk-Trump. She voted for Trump three times.
She now says people tell her, "You knew this was coming." She responds,
"But we didn't.
Nobody that I've talked to understood the devastation that having this administration in office would do to our lives."
Really?!
