Anecdotal, but I have found in my 73 years that a high percentage of both state and government employees to be liberals/progressives.
After all, their daily bread comes from the government. A government that is quite happy with slothfulness, laziness, poor quality of work and that cannot fire anyone. Most could never survive in non-gov jobs.
All gov. workers who are not in this category, I am sorry for stating this, but it is true. A generalization - but a valid one.
I had always thought that as well, but outside of FBI and Secret Service. But it is pretty clear I was mistaken in the case of the FBI.
I have always avoided lumping government employees in that way, as the slander “couldn’t make it on the outside” has been used frequently and with vehemence against members of the military over our history, but I have had to re-think that as well.
Donald Trump got a whopping 4% of the vote in D.C> that should tell you something. He only did a little better in surround areas, less than 20% in most.
