Yeah, but 66% are white and 49% doesn't have a college degree. So there is a significant piece that fits into Trumps base.

Your entire response reads as if you have never left your little corner of the south and have never met a federal employee beyond the TSA.

I’ve worked alongside the white collar side of the federal government and the assembled knowledge, experience, and talent would hurt to lose. Although members fall on both sides of the political spectrum (most federal workers I know lean right, by the way), the organizations themselves are sensitive to remaining apolitical. Their work is sometimes grabbed by whichever side disagrees with it and touted as an example of partisan influence within the government, but that’s usually spin. Great effort is made to simply execute the programs Congress directs funding to as well as possible without getting involved in the politics of it all.

You fail to explain why all those are federal jobs. The vast majority of them should not exist on the Federal level.
