Autocracies usually go out of their way to take care of veterans, service members, police officers, and even most civil servants … because if you fuck those people over, they’re the ones who do coups.

The culling of the federal workforce we're seeing is not about revenge against those who have been fired necessarily; it's a warning to those who are still there, like the heads on pikes that ancient hordes used to plant to tell the villagers to stay in line. From me:
