The Dangerous Conservative Theory Behind Trump's Assault on Government Workers

The article from MSN discusses a concerning trend where former President Donald Trump and his allies are promoting a theory that suggests a significant portion of the federal workforce, particularly those in policy-making roles, are part of a "deep state" working against conservative interests. This theory, known as the "unitary executive theory," posits that the President should have complete control over the executive branch, including the ability to fire and replace federal employees at will. Trump's Project 2025, developed by the Heritage Foundation, aims to implement this by proposing to reclassify tens of thousands of federal workers, stripping them of civil service protections to make them more easily replaceable by political appointees. Critics argue this move would politicize the bureaucracy, undermine the merit-based system, and potentially lead to government dysfunction by replacing experienced civil servants with partisan loyalists. This approach not only threatens the independence and expertise of the federal workforce but also raises alarms about the potential for authoritarian governance, where loyalty to the President overshadows professional competence and legal norms.
