Why are feds overwhelmingly pro left?

[wtfNeedSignUp]

It's pretty ridiculous how alphabet agencies seem to be hellbent on going after white/right targets while ignoring plenty of other internal threats, even when it seems like the USA is turning into a powder keg. So why is that? Even if they were pro establishment you'd think they'll play both sides.

 

[Freshly Baked Socks]

The same reason government workers and public school teachers are also tankies.

They're literally the strongarm of the government, and collect a paycheck and pension for being your Big Daddy,

They right pushed more and more power and money onto the feds over the years in the name of Law & Order and security.
And the left reaps the rewards.

Pretty based tbh.

 

[The Ugly One]

1. Because conservatives have sneered for decades at the idea of working for the government. Who else would work there?
2. Related: There's no right-wing equivalent of the Kennedy School of Government
3. The Clinton administration set procedures in place to politicize federal law enforcement and the officer corps.
4. When the GOP took power in 2001 with a trifecta, they did nothing about (3) because they decided it wasn't a fight worth having.
5. (4) repeated in 2017, with the added sauce that getting rid of Trump was a higher priority for the GOP than not having their balls snipped by the DNC-fed machine

If I remember right the OSS were originally a bunch of communists because we were fighting nazis, but as others said it's because they benefit from big government and Republicans typically preferred making money in the private sector.

 

[Getwhatyou]

You should be asking. "Why is every political right leaning milita full of feds"

or "why does every right leaning militia instantly turn state evidence when caught"

 

[Chilson]

The leadership is pro-left, quite a few people in the federal government are actually right wingers just doing a job.

The reason the leadership is pro-left though is because lefties want a massive centralized federal government to deal with every issue the country has, while the right wants strong local powers to deal with issues unique to their locality.

1. The Clinton administration set procedures in place to politicize federal law enforcement and the officer corps.
2. When the GOP took power in 2001 with a trifecta, they did nothing about (3) because they decided it wasn't a fight worth having.

All they did then was wage war. Now, they're so spineless, a rowdy businessman had to step up FOR THEM.

 

[gang weeder]

Because the US is a leftist regime. Duh.

 

[Beautiful Border]

"Why do the kind of people who would want to work for the government work for the government?"

 

[Bixby Snyder]

College degree

You are required to have one in federal law enforcement positions. FBI is also notorious assholes and elitist, so tend to hunt for Ivy League (super liberal types). Same with CIA and they even more known to hunt for Ivy Leaguers.

 

[Sarvon]

Because the system that exists wants to destroy any type of dissent to the status quo. Left and right are arbitrary notions and equate to the same end.

 

[snailslime]

op doesn't know shit about the history of criminals that our government has pardoned under the guise of receiving "scientific research".

 

[Wormy]

Reagan to conservative youths: The worst words you can hear are "I'm from the government and I'm here to help"
Leftist youths: So they don't want us in government, eh?
Conservatives 40 years later: Why are so many leftists growing up to be a part of government?!

 

[Kiwisee]

Stick around any leftist groups and you’ll find feds glowing at some point.

Especially if it’s any kind of environmentalism group. They’re only allowed to go so far before they’re shut down

 

[Mothra1988]

Obama attempted to install a permanent government. I don't know why this is confusing. Trump should have fired everyone. I don't know why he bothered even trying to work with these snakes. He should have just cleaned house day one and brought in his own people.

They waged a war while continuing to let liberals engage in an ideological purge of the upper ranks of the officer corps. Republicans are truly the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet.

Liberals then and liberals now are two different people. I don't think "liberal" is appropriately used now.

No wonder our government has gone to shit.

90-95% of Republicans are controlled opposition. The vast majority of them are a sockpuppet that only exists to be ineffectual villains in this circus act we call political theater. They are only allowed to win in order to make the voters feel like they changed something, and once in power do nothing. It's 50/50 on whether Trump himself is controlled op as well or just an impotent boomer way out of his depth.
