Just because someone works in the Federal Government doesn't make them an ally of the current administration. The great majority of Federal employees have non-political jobs that represent most of their careers. The whole government doesn't change after each transfer of power. That would be impossible to manage.

And completely unnecessary. Why would engineers at NASA have to be replaced because the presidency had changed hands? Or members of the armed services. Or clerks and accountants at the IRS. That doesn't make any sense. Sure, most of the leadership teams for the departments and agencies would change but that's a small percentage of the workforce.

As usual, you're right, brooklynite. It is a tiresome and somewhat ignorant point of view.
