According to testimony from Elaine Karmarck, the director of Clinton's initiative, it eliminated 426,200 federal roles between January 1993 and September 2000.
No protests, no threats against Clinton, nothing set on fire
It helps to do it legally, constitutionally, and with a well-constructed and well-announced-ahead-of-time plan.

It's amazing how much stuff that's sparked so much anger and fear was already done by Clinton and Biden.
The difference is that the reduction in force under Clinton was approved by a bipartisan vote in Congress and underwent months of review before being implemented.

This is the week we learned Democrats were never serious about climate change. That topic is stone cold dead.
Mark Kelly sells his Tesla and buys a gas guzzler, posts a video about it.
Combined with the pollution caused to the atmosphere by the domestic terrorist burning private property including lithium powered vehicles. Releasing toxins - they do not care one bit.

Not sure how that’s relevant unless this Elaine lady is also a well known internet pest/billionaire.

The OP is about Tesla and the level of violence from the left against a car - because the sheer hatred some have for the CEO of the company.

More Intimidation:

For a vehicle that was supposed to be the future of electric trucking, the Tesla Cybertruck is turning into something else entirely: a business liability. At least, that's what Yoni Menaker, owner of Blue Angel Roofing in Atlanta, claims after losing $70,000 in contracts—all because of his choice of wheels.

Last month, Torque News reported that Menaker, who uses his Cybertruck as a company vehicle, shared his frustration in a Tesla owners' group. He wrote, "I have a dilemma. I've started to lose customers because I drive a Cybertruck." He added that customers flat-out told him they were canceling deals because they didn't like the truck.

To make things worse, the company's online reviews started taking a hit, with one person writing, "If a roofing company has a Cybertruck, maybe reconsider using them as your roofer." That review even included a photo of Menaker's truck, complete with his business logo plastered on the side. The implication? Owning a Cybertruck doesn't just appear to be a controversial choice — it's now a potential business deal-breaker.​

The toughest part of the situation? He loves the Cybertruck—despite the backlash—which makes the dilemma even harder. He shared, "I love this truck, and it's the best truck I've ever had."

Intimidation and extortion are not free speech issues, nor is it peaceful -

The thread is violence against Tesla and Elon Musk.

This thread does not address denouncing other violence, correct?

And yet nearly a half million federal jobs were cut anyways.

Right - which should give you a clue as to why people are upset this time 'round. (Hint: it's not that jobs are being cut)

I'm not sure what you expect anyone here to do about it. Sure, vandalism is bad. Arson is bad. People should stop doing it. Police should investigate, and charge the perpetrators with the applicable crimes. But that does not mean that we can't point out that this is indicative of some deep discontent in the country.
The Democrat leaders need to speak out and urge the vandals to stop.

Over 7 years. In a process guided by law.
It's too bad this administration doesn't want to drag it out for several years. Which would probably make it too late. Some people don't understand that pruning the government quickly is a better alternative to the government going bankrupt. Federal bankruptcy isn't going to save federal jobs.

Certain people are upset because it's Trump.
Probably. But I think most people are upset about which jobs are being cut and how they're being cut rather than who, specifically, is doing the cutting. I can tell you that I'd be upset if Biden was doing this. Or Obama. Or Harris. Or literally any person you want to name.

Incorrect. We do have the right to criticize those who vandalize property, and I will continue to exercise that right.
People who criticize such vandalism, but do not likewise criticize other violations of law, such as the January 6th offenders, cannot be taken seriously as they exhibit clear inconsistency.

I do not believe I ever stated that it is inappropriate to criticize the vandals; I merely pointed out that's such a criticisms lose their credibility if the critics are exhibiting the kind of inconsistency I have pointed out.

Most liberals and democrats, yes. The fact that Trump is doing it, combined with him choosing Musk to helm DOGE, is why whatever they're doing is billed as horrible. I doubt most of them examine the details objectively, considering how much emotional melodrama is in their analysis of the situation. Everyone is going to suffer horribly. The elderly and disabled are going to be cut off without a cent. Farms are all going to go out of business. Millions overseas are going to starve to death because all aid to them has been cut off etc etc. Quite frankly it all sounds completely loony.
