Public servant for over 32 years here.

I didn’t broad brush the term.
I realize there are scores of Public Servants who do not stand up in front of a crowd in their thousand dollars suits/dresses etc and declare themselves a ‘Public Servant’.
When I went into the work force you had a choice of working for the government with less pay at first but after doing 5 or 10 years, the job stability alone put one ahead as far as buying houses, new cars etc etc etc.
I chose the private sector and while I made more at the outset and had a few perks (vehicle etc) I didn’t have health care, paid vacation etc etc.
And at age 60 when stopping off at the local VFW after work, my 60 year old ‘retired’ police and fire buddies were already there enjoying their retirement.
But yes, they earned it and it did turn out their decision was the smart one.
Like ‘we’ used to say...
“It is a rough job but someone has to do it”.
Sorry if I ‘offended’ you.... <: <: <:
No offense taken at all...just letting you know there are public servants that support President Trump.
