Playbook: “What we are witnessing is nothing short of a revolution inside the U.S. government, with unknown numbers of civil servants either being removed from their jobs or effectively facing some kind of loyalty test if they wish to stay on.”
“But let’s also be clear: Amidst the liberal outrage, it’s important to remember that this was all spelled out by Trump long in advance. Throughout the election campaign, he told America repeatedly that he would reshape the federal government, root out (and even prosecute) his enemies, pardon supporters who were convicted of violent crimes, slash government spending programs en masse and ax huge numbers of federal jobs. And then he won 77 million votes to do exactly that. Those accusing Trump of being anti-democratic might note that this is largely democracy in action.”
