Nothing happens quickly or on a straight line with government. From T.L. Davis at tldavis.substack.com:

The frustration among the people who voted for Trump, including those who voted for him so that Musk would burrow deep into the guts of this diseased republic and RFK Jr. to expose the harmful ingredients in the food, medicine and skies, all know one thing: that if they themselves had done any of the crimes commonly exposed on social media, they would be in jail.
It’s the seeming “big club” of federal workers who are usually somehow able to escape being fired, a common occurrence among those who pay their salaries, and impervious to being held accountable for open and wanton illegal activity that enrages the taxpayer.
One appears to walk an increasingly thin line as they try to go about their daily lives and work their jobs, while the other appears to breeze carefree along broad avenues of forgiveness.
Consider, for a moment, that the average person in the private sector is subject, often, to at-will employment, meaning that one might be fired at-will, with no explanation or cause. Many are subject to corporate policy that allows them to be fired for cause. It’s tougher to fire someone with a union, but still not impossible.
