They're the modern equivalent of Rome's Praetorian Guard whose loyalty was to the Emperor alone. The modern Federal bureaucracy is a self-sustaining malignant growth on the body politic. It's bound together by public employee unions that use their tremendous financial muscle to elect politicians who'll give them more and more money and power. We have created a monster that now rules us.
Our career civilian government workforce is supposed to be apolitical, immune from the petty politics of extant administrations. However, the Democrats have covertly worked for generations to plant ideologues in this force. The State Department being the number one beneficiary.
Our ENTIRE government workforce is INFESTED with political operatives who work in one of three ways. 1)racial motivation, 2) political vehemence for right leaning people and organizations, and 3) actively solicit and receive direction from the Administration. They are all saboteurs.
