Deep State is composed of career bureaucrats. There are only about 4,000 political appointees to oversee the federal workforce. It is a thin veneer. And many of the political appointee jobs are filled by careerists. For example, there are only two political jobs in the CIA, i.e., the Director and her Deputy. Only one in the FBI.
The career bureaucrats cannot be purged.
“The career bureaucrats cannot be purged.”
True but they can be assigned to meaningless drudge work.
Everyone in FedGov can be fired. There are mechanism to do that.
