“Democrat policies” being things like vaccination, education, and consumer protections.

I’m pretty sure it was incorporating race consciousness and racial preferences and academic ideas about gender and sexuality into everything: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/jan/30/biden-admin...
Also opening up the border when a majority of Americans have never supported increasing immigration: https://news.gallup.com/poll/647123/sharply-americans-curb-i.... (The number peaked at 34%.)
Those are examples of official Biden policies, and it was his prerogative to pursue them of course. But Trump has the prerogative to pursue the opposite of those policies with equal vigor, and the federal workforce should be working just as hard to implement Trump’s policies.

Biden didn't open the border. This is simply a lie. As furious progressives will tell you, Biden deported more people than Trump and tried to get Congress to pass a broadly restrictive immigration reform bill.
I think this has more a knock-on effect of the recent trend of “bringing your politics to work” and federal civil servants dropping the pretense of political neutrality. It woke half the country up to the fact that 90% of federal employees are putting their thumb on the scale for Democrat policies no matter who wins the presidential election.
