Alternatively, the whackos will find a way around it and we'll all die horribly.

And you will never, ever convince me that you weren't a simple bald face liar when you claimed that your IRS colleagues were almost entirely hard core MAGA. You have a lot of explaining to do. Ask @89th whether that's remotely plausible. He's got lots and lots of fed worker contacts, and something tells me that his attitude towards MAGA hasn't evolved as a contrarian perspective within his personal social and economic network.

I'm not smart enough to know what you're asking but I can tell you all of my conservative friends who work(ed) for the government, at the pengaton, FBI, justice dept, white house, congressional staffer, volunteer for McCain presidential campaigns, on and on and on.... all really cannot wait for MAGA to be over, and most did not vote for Trump after 2016 if they voted for him at all.
