"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?
You need to check your enthusiasm for donor stats that seem to be your anecdotal source
It sounds impressive until you realize that $2 million is not a huge sum spread out over such a large workforce. It also doesnt differentiate among career hires vs political appointees, who of course would donate to the party that hired them. And some are wealthy enough to make sizeable donations to buy their present and future jobs
Unfortunately the civil service union is typically liberal but as we see, union members dont always follow their leaders preferences
Our 20 years of civil service experience, when politics is even discussed which it is NOT on the job, is pretty “ conservative”, maybe because it is DoD and so many are retired or former miitary or contractor folks with similar work ethic and values as the military
