As the spouse of a senior manager and retired military officer, I can assure that’s wrong

There are about 2.1 million federal civilian employees according OPM/Fedscope. To that, you can add roughly 2.6 million federal retirees (as of 2018). So there are close to 5 million current and former feds out there. Obviously not all of them are liberals, but the vast majority are. Consider the following:

"Just before the 2016 presidential election, The Hill reported that “Federal government employees are opening their wallets to help Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump on Nov. 8.”

It checked Federal Election Commission records and reported that of the roughly $2 million given by feds in 14 agencies, “about $1.9 million, or 95 percent, went to” Clinton, the Democrat. It said that Department of Justicepolitical donors gave 99 percent of their money to Clinton, while at the State Department, which she once headed, only 1 percent of the reported political contributions went to candidate Trump. It said that Trump got $8,756 from Justice employees, compared to $286,797 (at that date) for Clinton. Of the political contributions from Internal Revenue Service workers, 94 percent went to Clinton.

I stand by my comment. Other than personal anecdotal views, where is your data proving otherwise?
