do not count on fed employees leaving the govt if Trump wins, it’s about as likely to happen as all the Hollywood types moving to Canada. those are idle threats. ain’t gonna happen.
I’ll go with history on this point, every change in party controlling the White House has led to a massive exodus of people from FedGov, each and every time, from those appointed (naturally) to even the front line workers (it’s going to change, better to get out now.)
It isn’t an idle threat, it is the natural change that happens when a party takes over the White House.
