RMG Research: Federal bureaucrats who identify as Democrats plan to ‘resist’ Trump en masse

Can we consider this an insurrection? Perhaps election subversion? Maybe an attempt to undermine our “democracy”? (Yes, I know we’re a republic, but since we did just deliver Trump a majority of the nation’s votes, “democracy” conveniently, for argument’s sake, applies.)

It’s not like we need any more examples of how evil, corrupt, and lawless those on the left are, but here it is anyway: According to the results of a recent survey conducted by RMG Research, 73% of federal bureaucrats who identify as Democrats plan to “resist” Trump and his directives, and around 64% plan to directly defy his policies if they disagree with them. Here’s the story, from a report on the by Tyler O’Neil at The Daily Signal:

While the vast majority of government employees who identify as Republicans plan to support the administration (89% ‘somewhat support’ or ‘strongly support’), almost three quarters of Democrat bureaucrats plan to resist (73% ‘somewhat resist’ or ‘strongly resist’). More than half of Republican managers (52%) said they would ‘strongly support’ the administration, while 40% of Democrats said they will ‘strongly resist’ it.

The survey also asked Federal Government Managers what they would do if Trump gave them a lawful order that they considered to be bad policy. Only 17% of Democratic managers who voted for Harris would follow Trump’s order. Three times as many (64%) said they would ignore the order and do what they thought was best.

Was this poll anonymous? Hopefully not—we need to know exactly where DOGE can kick off its slash-and-burn efficiency tour. Better yet, bring in Trump himself so he can hit them with the “you’re fired” line.

These federal employees are in the civil service sector, taking taxpayer dollars, and they are declaring their intention to work against the very people they’re supposed to serve… is this treason?

Democrats Love Censorship Because They Know They’d Lose Without It

President Joe Biden scolded Big Tech for doing away with ‘fact-checkers,’ a reminder that Democrats need censorship to stay in power.

<snip>

Apparently Biden — or likely, his Democrat handlers — are most concerned about “abuse of power” coming from average people who contradict the regime’s favored narratives online. Meanwhile, they have shown actual enthusiasm for abuses of power, like weaponizing the Department of Justice, flooding illegals into the nation, and using Biden’s beloved “fact-checkers” to police speech online.

Democrats need censorship because their ideas cannot win on their own merits. From supporting dictatorial Covid mandates to racist “antiracism” to transgender mutilation of children, these positions are untenable on their own. During the Biden presidency, the situation was even worse, as platitudes replaced any practical policy, and America’s absentee president left White House staffers to execute this weak approach.

November’s election proved this. Despite Democrats’ best efforts using “Bidenbucks” — or later, “KamalaCash” — to co-opt federal agencies as leftist “get out the vote” machines, they lost the presidential bid by a landslide. But former President Donald Trump’s victory may have been more difficult had leftists maintained their stranglehold on public discourse. If it had been eliminated entirely, Trump’s margin of victory could have been even larger.
