Do you think they are all just hanging out on the back porch, drinking scotch and waiting for Wheel of Fortune to come on?

Maybe. Or maybe they’re as powerless as the rest of us and are doing the same nervous doom scrolling we are. There’s no reason whatsoever to suggest that there’s some secret gang of competent former govt employees banding together to form the resistance.

We haven’t heard a word from those people, and it can’t be because they just don’t care.

It can be. Or it can be because they’re out looking for new jobs in a shitty economy.

This is pure fantasy. Come on, be realistic here.
