It’s been known for a long time that upwards of 90% of the federal government are aligned with the party of big government. Resignations of this kind will not be seen as a step backwards.

This is a silly take. You mean to tell me that government workers support government work? Resignations won't be seen as a step back by conservatives up until their septic system fails and shit bubbles out of the ground or planes start falling out of the sky. The rest of us think that it's actually hard to run a government and you need armies of qualified civil servants to do that work. We see layoffs for ideological reasons as the poorly-evidenced power grab they are.

  It's not silly at all, you just want it to be. Propaganda rots the brain. It's sad but laughable what people will believe, for example, Biden's FAA administration, which is still largely in place, is somehow related to conservatives. The new administration hasn't even gotten its people in place yet. At least this executive branch employee quit rather than "resist" "not my president" while at the helm.

    Would you like to say something of substance here? It's strange how people kept repeating TDS last year, but here you are complaining about a president no longer in charge about current actions. Biden didn't fire random FAA controllers them have to backtrack. >The new administration hasn't even gotten its people in place He's got more in place than you're letting on. Moreover he's takin a wrecking ball to people currently in place and blackmailing mayor's. Let's not pretend he hasn't done more damage in a month than some presidents fix in 4 years. >At least this executive branch employee quit rather than "resist" "not my president" while at the helm. Public sector workers are normal people. Quitting is saying "I'm not participating in this circus". And leaves less ambiguity than when fired

      Technically he did say something of substance, though not in the way he meant it -- propaganda rots the brain.
