May I recommend reading this Avik Roy piece at NR regarding the different conservative parties, as he puts it Nationalist Conservatives vs Freedom Conservatives (https://archive.is/tuyGX)? I think you'll agree with some points being made there.
I finally got a few minutes to read and digest this article. Thank you for sharing. How I wish millions of housewives aka voters could or would take the time as well.
David wrote this: "Government employees should not be loyal to the president. At least that should not be their primary loyalty. Government workers should be loyal to the Constitution, the law, and the country above and beyond their loyalty to the chief executive."
I won't belabor this other than to say: A president should be loyal to the Constitution, the law and the country above and beyond their loyalty to their own self-interests."
“ And Semafor notes that Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy have accused Trump of not going far enough to root out disloyal (i.e. liberal or nonMAGA) government employees.” Since the early beginnings of trumps presidency, it has really bothered me that he demanded loyalty to him, and not to the United States.
