Democrats and other leftists and socialists gravitate toward all government jobs. In a benign way, the socialist sees government as a good and a change agent to correct the ills of society and wants to be part of it. Likewise a leftist as a lifelong revolutionary wants to change society, destroy the establishment and what better place than as a cog in government that can be torqued by the employee?
Government has security as market needs don’t impact employment and government workers long for the nanny state.
Conservatives love their society and want to participate as a free agent making their way and their happiness.
Leftists likewise want to have security but also to control others — for the common good in their opinion.
May be wished to be benign but it is wrongheaded.
