The day-to-day operation of large government bureaucracies is surprisingly immune to elections. The same people stay in the same job for decades, the "churn" only happens at the highest levels, and even those positions tend to outlast changes in the current political party in charge.
Did you not see what happened in the last year to federal workers?
Unfortunately this is a good example of kicking the can. Not to the next administration but to after the next elections. Some aspects are felt already but not all.
It's a good time to be kind to your neighbors. No matter their background, they're almost certainly not the ones to be upset at.
This problem has been "cooking" for 12.5 years, not 1.
You're off by an order of magnitude, sadly.
