Also true for US civil servants as well. They are asked to be nonpartisan, but also take an oath to the Constitution (that is, to liberal democracy). The bounds of a nonpartisan civil service should encompass any political leadership that respects democracy.

If we can solve our disagreements within the bounds of liberal democratic governance, then you're my ally in the fight against authoritarianism both in America and overseas.

When civil servants oppose the Trump administration for rejecting the constitution, that is what we should expect; the challenge is explaining how that intersects today’s party alignment. It’s not fair to civil servants to expect them to remain neutral in the face of fascism.
