A poll conducted by RMG Research reveals a startling number of federal government managers who say they will actively oppose the incoming administration when Donald Trump is inaugurated on January 20.

The Daily Signal reports that RMG Research polled three separate segments of the population including what it calls the “Elite 1%” with postgraduate degrees, earning more than $150,000 annually and live in highly populated areas, “Main Street Americans” who represent roughly 75% of the U.S. population and, finally, federal managers who live near the nation’s Capital city and earn $75,000 or more annually.

When asked if they would most likely be supporting or resisting the Trump administration over the next four years, government managers were almost evenly sp

Mass RIFs by closing unauthorized functions

Well said.

“I do not know the ins and outs of federal employment practices. However, I certainly hope anyone actively opposing DJT is summarily dismissed. People like them just need to go...”

Perfect reason to privatize the administrative state. I applied for a DOGE job on X.

I’ll bet they wouldn’t last one hour in the real world.

As is their right. But they should hold up the Constitution
for the best to all.

Thank you!

So 50% of government employees are self-described “insurgents”. It should be relatively easy to find a reason to transfer them or RIF them in such a way that they have to face reality and struggle. These pampered losers need a serious lesson in reality. I hope they are having trouble sleeping.

then their new office cubicle should be a 4x4 room with no windows, no art, no comms and an uncomfortable chair

Yup. 90% standby dem voters. The worse part is while Trump can fill appointments at the top level, it is almost impossible to root up those career bums under that level. They are the real deep state.

We have JFK and his EO EO10988 and Nixon’s 11491 to thank….

On his first day in office, President Trump needs to cancel EO 10988 and EO 11491, and issue his own EO outlawing unions and collective bargaining for government employees.

It is way past time to end the charade of civil servants uncivil bureaucrats negotiating with their bosses against the citizens of this country.

I would take those numbers with a grain of salt.
Remember 31.1% of federal employees are veterans.

call me old fashioned
but

used to be you when ignored your boss and or didnt do the job

you were fired.

Didn’t LBJ codify in place federal unions with legislation?
If so, it will take legislation to undo it.

And those are the first folks President Trump should invite to go find jobs outside the government.

It is more common and easier to just reassign them.

North Dakota has 76 leased or owned federal buildings with a total of over 2.2 million square feet of workspace. There is ample room for 4x4 cubicles equipped with nothing more than a notepad and a number 2 pencil. Let them earn their money there.

You sneeeaaaky little bastard...DOGE needs you on staff....

....seriously.

[Blueflag]

You ever been there in the Summer? (I have).

No charging stations either, probably not a Starbucks either.

[Blueflag]

I can guarantee you that Woodville, MS, in the summer, is worse than Greenland in the winter. ;-)

[Redleg Duke]

DOGE will be happy to discuss their plans with them.

[Maris Crane]

If I remember my management “rules and regulations”...THAT PARTICULAR GROUP WERE THE EASIEST TO ...FIRE.

Getting rid of a clerk was...VERY DETAILED.
