Let's use the word "disdain". I don't think the majority of voters have disdain for federal workers, but the people engaging in these actions certainly seem to.

  The disdain I can personally speak to is with the system that creates job programs funded by my taxpayer dollars instead of using said dollars for effective governance. I have lived experience, lots of it, with people who are living stereotypes of government employees, whose entire work product serves to sustain a self-perpetuating bureaucracy and who contribute very little to the statutory mission of their employer. So do many other people. I don't blame those employees for thriving in the environment that was created for them. I don't wish them any ill. But I don't think I need to fund that kind of systemic dysfunction anymore.

    Do you really have faith in Elon "print out your source code so I can personally read it" Musk to accurately weed out the bad eggs while maintaining effective governance? What evidence do you have that Trump is at all interested in effective governance? All I see is him creating systemic dysfunction, not ending any.
