Trump, MAGA et al, are always screaming about the Dems being 'commies, socialists, marxists, fascists' etc. Their accusations should be seen as confessions. Trump is acting just like the autocrats he so admires and he has managed to build a corrupt Executive Branch that goes along with everything he does.
Now get this...
New Federal Employees Must Now Write Essays Praising Trump's Policies
Those seeking a job in the federal government will now have to write an essay in support of President Donald Trump's executive orders, according to a memo from the Office of Personnel Management.
Vince Haley, the White House's head of domestic policy, wrote in the May 29 memorandum that all civil service applicants must answer a series of essays as part of the job recruitment process, including one about how they would "help advance" Trump's policy priorities.
And your answer to the 3rd essay question is no doubt the one that will make or break your chances of getting work with the Trump regime:
How would you help advance the President's Executive Orders and policy priorities in this role? Identify one or two relevant Executive Orders or policy initiatives that are significant to you, and explain how you would help implement them if hired.
After all the struggles to get a truly merit based Civil Service and to try and root out corruption, nepotism and cronyism...now we have this. So we will have a MAGAfied Civil Service, willing to serve Trump's goals no matter what.
Adam Bonica, a political scientist at Stanford University, wrote in a Substack post: "A merit-based civil service that took generations to build is being dismantled via memo."
Max Stier, the president of the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service, told Axios: "They're emptying the shelves of the existing nonpartisan expert civil servants, and they're restocking with the loyalists."
Paul Light, a professor emeritus of public service at New York University, told Politico: "I think it's foolish. It's hard enough to get talent these days." They're not looking for talent!
