Trump is very obviously a far-right president. That's an incontrovertible fact that even he wouldn't disagree with. It is also a blatantly true fact - as evidenced by their words and actions over the last several decades, and especially since 2016 - that the right wing is hostile to competent, professional civil service. Pointing out that such people are going to make it impossible for a place like 18F to do its job isn't partisan. Failing to point it out, or equivocating over "well both sides have their points", is in fact obscenely biased toward the far right. That's what "sane-washing" is: describing the clearly insane in the same legitimizing language you'd use for normal disagreement.
If a neutral observer calls you a fascist, it doesn't necessarily mean that they're biased or compromised. You might just be a fucking fascist.
