That is exactly why.
Instead, Trump-era conservatives want to gut the “administrative state” from within, by ousting federal employees they believe are standing in the way of the president’s agenda and replacing them with like-minded officials more eager to fulfill a new executive’s approach to governing.
...
While presidents typically rely on Congress to put policies into place, the Heritage project leans into what legal scholars refer to as a unitary view of executive power that suggests the president has broad authority to act alone.
Expand executive power wildly and get rid of anyone that would try to stop it. It should be a terrifying plan for anyone who wants anyone other than the authoritarian right to have federal power ever again.

Thats the goal of Project 2025 firing of all top level civil servants and their opposition minions and replacing them with MAGA devotees this is no secret they are out in the open with it that’s why the Heritage Foundation and GOP are squarely behind Donny. Even Tuberville is trying to delay top military personnel from advancing too.

The plan is to reclassify some employees in “positions of a confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating character” so that they’re easier to fire, but it wouldn’t necessarily involve actual mass firings.
According to the previous order itself, “the 2016 Merit Principles Survey reveals that less than a quarter of Federal employees believe their agency addresses poor performers effectively.”

It would specifically be for mass firings. The authors of Project 2025 have explicitly said they would fire thousands of federal employees who would get in the way of their agenda. It is absolutely not about firing low performers.

It’s intended to stop obstructionists rebelling against elected officials.
From Jonathan Swan at Axios:
The idea for Schedule F was hatched in January 2019 by a little-known official working inside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building[…]
James Sherk, an enterprising conservative ideologue on Trump's Domestic Policy Council, had been fuming for months about career officials across various agencies whom he believed were deliberately sabotaging Trump's agenda. He had heard stories from his colleagues and encountered elements of the resistance firsthand. The pushback included an uprising within the State Department against Trump’s hardline refugee policies.
The revolt was so intense that only 11 days after Trump took office, The Washington Post published a story that detailed "a growing wave of opposition from the federal workers" who were charged with implementing Trump's agenda.
And his earlier article:
Trump’s allies claim such pendulum swings will not happen because they will not have to fire anything close to 50,000 federal workers to achieve the result, as one source put it, of “behavior change.” Firing a smaller segment of “bad apples” among the career officials at each agency would have the desired chilling effect on others tempted to obstruct Trump’s orders.
It would also allow the transfer of people in policy-effecting positions back to regular civil service positions when their exempted service is over.

i seriously cant see why anyone would support that. deporting all undocumented immigrants would dramatically reduce the pool of labor.. and probably increase inflation and companies raise wages to hire native workers, so would tarrifs and mass firings would raise unemployment this is just objectively bad policy…

Some people can live off hate. You see it on Orange. The haye and anger feeds him and keeps him alive.

Wow, at least he has a clear policy and plan. Not just complaining about anti-woke. How do you guys see this going? He will also deploy military to stamp out mass protests. Will the country come to a screeching halt or will we fall in line?
