Plug :本意是塞子,在这里就是弥补的意思了。

句子解析:句子主干:Most careers would not survive A ,let alone B.
A = a public declaration of love for the president
B= a professed willingness to raise taxes to plug the deficit.

where purity is highly valued, 定语从句修饰conservative politics
翻译的过程中还是注意语序按照中文的习惯调整:
先翻译定语从句,在翻译其他;
在保守派的政治活动中,纯洁性是被高度看重的,所以很多其中的职业是承受不起公开表达爱总统的,更不用说公开声称愿意通过增加税收来弥补赤字。
