You have to remember something, and it’s something very scary. The left in infiltrating many of the most important aspects of society (cultural, educational) didn’t spare civil service. You’ve got leftists infesting entire governmental departments in Washington, including State and Justice. Gargantuan numbers of “fellow travellers” whose goal is to undermine Republican/Conservative administrations. Just electing a President isn’t enough, you’ve got to tackle the culture of these individual departments. They’re going to work overtime to stop any and all investigations (or “persecutions”) of liberal pols, positions, shibboleths, you name it.
I’ve reached the point that maybe we should go back to the good old days of the 19th century prior to the Civil Service reforms so we can at least appoint loyalists at the start of an administration that aren’t actively working to undermine it. As it stands, under Civil Service, the gargantuan numbers of leftist/Democrats are protected under it and Republicans/Conservatives aren’t seemingly much at all, whatever few are even there. The False Messiah will have a VERY warm and favorable army of hacks awaiting to follow his orders in January and carry out a radical agenda and full-on assault on the Constitution. Scary stuff.
So true.
