Changing staff throughout a term is well precedented.

I already made this point although to be fair I didn't note anything about conformity.

Maybe the cheap attempt to strongarm a nation is part of why she lost? Idk.

Nowhere near to this degree and the reasons behind the changes.

Comparing unprecedented Trump White House turnover with Bush, Obama | PolitiFact

After first year in office:

Trump 34%
Obama 9%
W Bush 6%

And it's not so much the turnover, but the reasons behind them. Mostly scandalous at least, and criminal at best.

But let's not forget crooked Hillary.

So should Trump have kept corrupt people in office?

Historically communist revolutions upset the status quo quite a bit more than a Supreme Court Justice but I'm sure you have the stomach for that.

Not voting just means letting things stay as they are = bad.

Maybe not have hired them without proper vetting scrutiny in the first place?

I can already see the path you're going to go down here.

I have vivid memories of W Bush and Obama. Their shake-ups were mostly routine and not over the types of scandals we've seen with DJTs boys - and girls.
