2. If "we" means "Republicans" then no ... they never could govern

But I rather suspect that many of the lifelong professional government employees - the ones who are being fired right now - those people aren't Republicans. How could they be? Anyone who answers the call to public service is usually motivated by higher principles, like the aim to serve the country, to do good, to help people in need. To uphold the Constitution and the laws of our country.

Those are the selfless people who are losing their jobs. Are some of them Black? Well yes. Are some of them women? Of course. Why should that matter, as long as they meet the same professionally-trained requirements as the white males?

These mass firings are so short-sighted and stupid, and it's all going to backfire spectacularly in a very short time. But the MAGAs will never see that, until it's too late and country burns to the ground.
