Your point? Are you a big fan of the Deep State? I hope not, because if Donald Trump is elected and the Republicans enact their Project 2025 agenda, civil servant positions will become political appointments, depending on a worker's political leanings.
Republic means a government of the "public". America is a self-governing republic, in which the power of the government is derived from The People.

I wouldn’t be ignorant and gullible to buy into anything the Heritage Foundation has to say Annee. You’re being gaslit.
