Planned replacement of up to 50K career civil servants with pol appointees loyal to T:
This position is at odds with American public opinion. A survey from last Mar: 87% of said that 'having a nonpartisan civil service is important for having a strong democracy.'
"There're good reasons to doubt that" Trump can fire tens of thousands of federal civil service workers. "Statutorily," the civil service as we know it today was created in 1883 by the Pendleton Act..."

Im not sure nonpartisan is an honest term here. Civil servants are heavily democrat in their breakdown last time I looked at those numbers, very heavily. This is likely why trump wanted to replace them, they are heavily partisan against him.
That said what we mean is if those positions are hired without awareness of party affiliation or not. I do tend to agree with your premise that they should not be hired specifically due to their affiliation.
