Legal Or Not The GOP/Trump Will Purge Non Supporters & Democrats From Federal Employment.

[TheMastersNemesis]

It is hard to keep from being alarmed when you see what Trump and the GOP are doing already. This administration and GOP government will be the least transparent in US history. The GOP loves the idea of secret government based on the first thing they did.

I hope that our worst fears are not realized. I am hardly optimistic.

1. Not likely possible to do that,

considering: According to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), as of December 2011, there were approximately 2.79 million civil servants (civilian, i.e. non-uniformed) employed by the US Government. (This includes executive, legislative and judicial branches of government.

2. I Hope You Are Correct. But Cannot Put Anything Past These People.

I am a retired state employee and the GOP and Trump are stirring a lot of hatred of public employees.

3. I agree we can't put anything past these people.

THUS we remember and act.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
