Thinking all government employees are at the whim of the president shows a distinct lack of understanding about how government works and civil service. Furthermore, do you propose government employees all quit en masse whenever a president is elected they don't like? I'm sure being unemployed, broke, and hungry will be super helpful for the cause.

They don't need to quit, but pretending that they're "changing the system" doesn't help anyone.

They're showing up to work, and maybe helping people, but "the system" is defined by rules and goals. Only people with power to make rules and change goals can impact the system. The postmaster who lets a trans person change their passport marker isn't changing the system. They're subverting its goals, but the system remains.
