My understanding is that in the last several elections 94% of the federal bureaucracy voted democrat.
There are guys that I do know who do work in the federal bureaucracy. They are conservative. They have to be very very careful about what they say.
I know more guys who stepped out of the bureaucracy—especially the military —when the woke policy directives started filtering in.
If Trump wins he will likely take out the top floors of all the three letter agencies and some of all the others.
But he likely won’t get much further down into the bureaucracy than that.
He will also knock out all the woke policies—which will mean all of the bureaucracy that supervises that will be evicted.
Likely too Trump will re-introduce meritocracy to the bureaucracy. That will make for some longer term changes —if trump is succeeded by a republican.
Otherwise, everything he does will be immediately reversed.
The 94% number is urban legend. The 35% / 48% number is taken from 2022. The Federal workforce skews democrat for certain but the actual rank and file is not too far off from the general population who are the people who make up that workforce. Of course in the DC area the democrat sympathies will be a bit higher but nowhere near 94%. Government Executive reported that employee support for Biden in 2020 was about 60%. That is still too much but much closer to “normal” people LOL.
