      only far far worse

      The aim in a 2nd term for Trump would be to immediately politicize thousands of government positions that are apolitical and require years of education and experience to be competent. The administration felt hampered by being told “no” and “that’s illegal” and “we can’t do that” by so many of these long-standing staffers that they want to sweep away more than just cabinet and executive positions, but also thousands of jobs that literally keep the government going. It’s a GOP wet dream… say that the government is useless and inefficient to get into office and implement changes that make those claims true. But beyond that, it immediately sets up even more executive power which has been their aim since Nixon.
