In the timeframe that you were a contractor, you are probably right. Since the Biden Junta started, all bets are off. Continuing to working for an illegitimate governing body makes you part of the problem even if you want to be part of the solution.
I still disagree. Those who are conservative, who are inside the beast, have an opportunity to slow-walk or ‘oopsy’ make mistakes on enforcement of various elements of tyranny.
That is the successful approach that the left took vis-a-vis Donald Trump, although they were trying to thwart freedom, not tyranny.
