This plays well because for 70 years we’ve been encouraged by wealthy and powerful people to see public servants (it’s in the fucking name people) as our enemy. The people SERVING the public. Why do wealthy and powerful people hate them? Because they stop them getting even more wealthy and powerful. Gullible people have swallowed this hook, line and sinker. Now paying for public services out of their own wallets, if they can get the services at all. In the US Trump has already begun trying to shut down the government entirely, firing thousands of public servants and handing their work over to his tech bros.
