Tactic: Stack the Government with Loyalists
When authoritarians want control, they don’t burn the system down. They gut it from the inside and fill the hollowed-out shell with people who answer only to them.
On June 15, the Trump regime moved to bring back Schedule F, a policy that would let them fire thousands of career civil servants and replace them with political loyalists. No more nonpartisan experts. No more guardrails. Just one test: Are you loyal to Trump?
They’re calling it reform. It’s not. It’s a purge.
They want to control who gets hired, who gets fired, and what kind of government survives the next four years.

Why it matters:
The civil service isn’t some back-office detail. It’s how laws are enforced. Benefits are distributed. Whistleblowers speak out. Sabotage it and what’s left is a government that works for one man.
They’re not trying to dismantle democracy. They’re trying to bend it until it breaks.
What to do:
📞 Call your senators and demand legal protections for federal workers.
🗣️ Talk about it. Most people don’t know what Schedule F means. Make it real.
📝 Write. Post. Share. This is power consolidation.
📢 And organize. Civil servants can’t strike. But we can show up for them.
This is how it starts: a policy memo, a job posting, a quiet resignation.
This is how it ends: a government that only answers to one man.
