The article discusses how the Trump administration is effectively pursuing the American right's agenda to dismantle government norms and structures without overtly eliminating them. Through psychological manipulation and intimidation, such as reclassifying jobs and freezing budgets, the administration generates fear among civil servants, prompting many to consider leaving their positions voluntarily. This approach creates a parallel sense of chaos reminiscent of more violent rhetoric of the past, but it articulates a more insidious strategy designed to destabilize the civil service from within.
Trump’s administration is subtly dismantling the ideal of government by creating a climate of fear and uncertainty, compelling civil servants to leave voluntarily.
The tactics employed by the Trump administration might not require an actual purge; they incite a mass self-exodus among civil servants.
