...overwhelmingly donate to democrat candidates and liberal causes. Co-incidence?

I did a quick check. I didn't find an ideological distribution of federal employees. But one bit I read was that postal workers contributed record amounts. Which isn't surprising since the Reps want to destroy the USPS, and have since at least Reagan. So thinking about it further, it makes complete sense that civil servants would donate more to the Dems because the Reps want to fire a lot them -what do you think "budget cuts" means in terms of their jobs?
