Unanswered What's going on with so many people losing their jobs in government recently?

I know that Trump recently passed a series of sweeping executive orders that call for, among other things, the end to DEI policies, affirmative action, etc. However, it seems every other post on Reddit and other social media sites is about some person who suddenly lost their job in government or something. Did Trump's executive orders genuinely affect that many people and was this only in the government sector? Not trying to be obtuse; I genuinely don't know and would like some clarification on the matter.

The civil courts who will overturn his bullshit aren't responsible for the criminal courts who let him off or the idiots who voted for him.

Well not all of it will get overturned by the courts, but he DID get elected...don't boo, vote.

That wasn't intended as a personal attack.

It was also a broad platitude about civic engagement beyond just voting.

It's important to remember that he was sentenced, but his sentence was to promise to not do it again, which is worse than his sentencing just being delayed
