Terry Zink has spent 57 years building a life in Montana’s backcountry. The 57-year-old third-generation houndsman from Marion—a remote town nestled deep within the Flathead National Forest—runs a small archery target business serving outdoor recreation workers and guides who, until recently, had steady employment managing America’s public lands. Contents

Those workers are disappearing. Their jobs are gone. And Zink, who voted for Trump in 2024, is watching his customer base—and his livelihood—vanish before his eyes.

“You won’t meet anyone more conservative than me, and I didn’t vote for this,” Zink told Politico reporters as he surveyed the damage. “You cannot fire our firefighters. You cannot fire our trail crews. You have to have selective logging, water restoration, and healthy forests” (1).

When you vote without thinking of consequences, you did vote for that.

Oh, Terry, you sweet summer child.

What did you expect would get cut when Donald told you he was going to take a saw to our government?

If the failure and stupidity of DOGE isn't hammered into people for generations to come then a gross failure will have taken place.

They claimed to want to cut waste but they have destroyed so much revenue it isn't funny.

You wanted fascism, Zinky. Well, you got it. And you better thank Dear Leader and Jesus. You live in the Greatest Country In The World, and God gave you bootstraps!

Quit crying and get a job, weakling. Hail Trump.

Why does he need you guys to do controlled burns? Can't he just take some of the concentration camp inmates to rake all of Yellowstone?

Just saying "I didn't vote for this" won't make it better sadly for this stupid fuck.

Dear Terry: you're starting to come a looooooooooong long way. Seriously!

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah you did. You voted for the richest of us to feast on everyone else. That was explicitly why every mega rich motherfucker threw their salt behind Trump

I think I might write this fellow a strongly worded letter.
