And he's one of the more normal ones. It's fear. They see what trump is doing, how it's creating an anti-trump world within his own base and it scares the living shit out of him.

And finger boy doubles down on the circular logic! How utterly pathetic...
As for McEntarfer's firing, I can see arguments on both sides of that. Her supporters, their appeals to authority (education) and popularity aside, say she does a good job of things. Trump's argument, bombast aside, is that her numbers have been, and are, including before he took office, full of shit.
So, she may have done a good job, but I have serious questions about the validity of that office's statistics particularly with the increasing shift from the industrial age to the electronics age, about the modelling they use. My suspicion is that their model is badly outdated and a legacy of the industrial age. Because the BLS is an entrenched government bureaucracy, it's likely that bureaucratic inertia ("We've always done it this way...") and a legacy statistical model are in use that increasingly just doesn't measure jobs in a rapidly changing market well. That view is based on my having had to deal with decades of shit government computer modeling and databases of things. That is, a model is put together and starts to be used. Decades later it has become deified as "THE" model even as it is no longer accurate or very good at capturing the necessary data. But moving to a new system is always deemed too expensive and difficult so a 'make do' attitude is adopted instead.
This would result in McEntarfer and staff being proud of their continued dedication to tradition and this model--bureaucrats resist change--even as it proves increasingly inaccurate. Trump's side of things would be he sees the results as shit and wants to fire everybody because the results are shit even as he isn't really doing anything useful towards fixing the problem.
If that's accurate, and it likely is more than not, it's a case of bulldozer meeting immovable object.

Was it "fascist" when Obama and Biden did that?
Tell me who they sued. And also did the settlement include millions of dollars of PSA's friendly, specifically to Obama and his administration? That's fascist shit man. Take the hit on this one and let's move onto the next.
Unnecessarily dispatching the military to abuse political opponents politically. That's fascist, in my opinion, defend it.

They didn't sue. They used the power of government instead. For example:
Obama had the IRS go after Conservative groups. That ended in a typical Republican congressional hearing that went nowhere.
IRS Targeting Scandal: Citizens United, Lois Lerner And The $20M Tax Saga That Won't Go Away
In 2013, Acting Director of Exempt Organizations at IRS, Lois Lerner, apologized to tax lawyers for the IRS's inappropriate targeting of political groups. Her comments set off a chain of events that would fire officials and consider impeachment proceedings for IRS Commissioner Koskinen's actions.

You don't understand circular logic. I am an omnivore because I eat plants and animals. That is not circular logic.
TACO does not have an argument. As usual, he has no proof in the universe that the numbers are wrong. The BLS is the most respected labor statistics organization in the world. He didn't like the numbers, so he threw a temper tantrum.
You, likewise and right on cue, pick up the lie and start crawling up one of millions of hills you'll die on. You cannot make up facts or deny reality and expect normal, rational, thinking people to look at you and think that you are a serious person. I would actually laugh in your face if we were having this conversation in person.
TACO is a liar. You're in a cult. It's all so repulsive for the rest of us to witness.
I'll ask a second time and then Moving on from this one. Did Obama require these conservative groups he went after to put up millions in PSA's as part of the settlement? Did Obama exclude news outlets from the pressroom for not being nice to him? Did Clinton and Obama attack reporters at press conferences and call them "fake news"? Did Obama try to take down Fox News as trump's trying to take down NPRThey didn't sue. They used the power of government instead. For example:

I'm telling you man, this is tinpot dictator shit and if you're ok with it, well - that's YOUR issue to deal with.
Also, the admission of guilt from the IRS came from Jeff Sessions and we know how non-intendent trump's DOJ's are, so I don't trust that shit for a second.
This is from the same case the first article you posted is from. Same author obvious political bias against Obama.Or, trying to reinstitute the "Fairness Doctrine" to shutdown Conservative talk radio

Yeah. Doxxing, hate speech and propaganda is bad. But don't worry, Elon took over Twitter and now it's a toxic, freak-show hellscape. Also, from this article you posted from Reason.com is a heavily libertarian meaning anti-Democrat, like YOU.As but two of many examples.

Still waiting to defend trump sending the military to LA against all city, state and local officials wishes. Please don't tell me that you trump knows what people need more than they do. What it was was attempt to bully and antagonize trump's political foes - Defend it now, please!
Not my problem. I don't live there and am content to let others choose their own leadership, whether for good or not-so-good. I expect though that like all top politicians, he will find his hands fettered by rule, law, his fellow pols, red tape, and tradition. Why this candidate, or AOC, or Stacey Abram, or any other local (but not YOUR locale) politician so upsets you buttercups is beyond me.
Most likely you're afraid that if he's elected he'll enact popular policies and gain traction as a leading (D) national candidate. Can't have a politician doing good for the people, you know. lol
The Little Rich Boy Socialist will be a tremendous boost for the GOP if elected....

But it is a problem. NYC is the largest city in the US and if it turns into a shithole turd world city that will have national impact. All of his policies, as stated, have been repeatedly tried and all of them have failed--MISERABLY. Not one thing he's proposing is new or different from the usual radical Leftist / Socialist bullshit that fails every time. Mandani will only increase the misery of the poor and middle class.
