You have got to be kidding me. Even the authors can't believe this pap.
These fools are the same fools that cheered when “defund the police” was a popular issue, yet too stupid to know, consider, think about or care that they are “public servants” too.
Most people in government service don’t give a damn about some perception by idiots that they are doing the work of martyrs or something, they just want that cushy job at the DMV that only really stupid people can get, that also comes with a lifetime pension.
They absolutely believe it, 100%. For progressives, bureaucracy is the final stage. They have achieved the pinnacle of existence.
What the Slimes is doing here is trotting out one or a few people from some bureaucracy and using them as a prop. But the real target of protection is the agency behind it and they're all the same, be it the EPA, FDA, FBI, don't matter. All agencies must continue to exist, progressivism requires it.
