I simply disagree, especially with the rank and file staffers. Sure for some of the big names. Like Barr and Ross.
But the majority of people working in and for this admin are faceless. They won’t be ostracized. Americans are not that focused.
I just don’t think this happens.
It does not matter whether some clueless yokel in Utah knows your reputation or not. It is on the sociopolitical power framework of Washington DC. Career politicos are constantly trying to align with winners and stay clear of losers, for this reason. Alignment with losers destroys careers, whether you are aware of it or not. This is how every company and every industry works as well. Your reputation is of paramount importance. To think otherwise is beyond naive.
