Most of the double, and triple dippers I have known were arch Republicans.

When I was in the service you wouldn't believe how many people I knew that retired from the Military on one day and went right back to work on base at a gummint job the next day. A lot of them worked it out so that they went back to the same desk, doing the same job only this time instead of as a GI, they were now a GS something.

Then there was my old boss at the State of Florida.

Republican all the way.

Enlisted in the Navy at 18, and left for boot camp the day after he graduated from High School.

Did 22 years in the Navy, retired with a nice pension at age 40, then went to work for the State of Florida for another 22 years, then at age 62 he retired and started drawing a 22 year pension from the state plus Social Security.

I just looked him up on the net and he's still alive.

84 years old and been drawing three government checks for the last 22 years just for breathing.

That's the way you do it.
