However, the deep state being 90% democrat and close to 100% in some agencies is not and can not be any sort of problem, because the democrats are just so damn good at setting their politics aside when executing their official duties.
I’m not sure I understand. The life of a bureaucrat is at most about 40 years in service, maybe 45 from age 20 to 65. If I go back and look to see how many people could have been appointed during that span it takes me back to roughly 1980.
Since then the Presidents, who appoint the heads of agencies and some number of supervisors below that have been:
Ronald Reagan
Ronald Reagan
George Bush
Bill Clinton
Bill Clinton
George Bush Jr.
George Bush Jr.
Barack Obama
Barack Obama
Donald Trump
Joe Biden
That’s 6 Republican terms, or 24 years, and 5 Democratic terms, or 20 years. How is it you think that the Democrats have managed to take over the government, when Republicans have been in charge for longer ?
Here is what I know to be true about government bureaucrats. They are mostly just regular people, trying to do a decent job at whatever the task assigned is. I know one who was in the Social Security administration who worked her way up to a decent level before retiring. I have a niece who works at the FDA approving the testing of drugs used in veterinary care. There’s a lady up the street who worked for the IRS who just retired. I know a retired mailman and a scientist who worked at Oak Ridge on alternate fuels, and a guy who was in Homeland Security for a while. Some of those are clearly Republicans. Some are Democrats.
All of them, by most Republican’s definitions are “the deep state”, but in truth I will tell you most are just average people, working for a paycheck so they can pay the mortgage and raise their kids, doing their 9 to 5 and taking the kids to Little League practice.
Honestly, I have never seen such things as Republicans who have an excuse for everything that has ever gone wrong (and ever will go wrong) and find a boogey man to blame it on. Oh, it’s the DEEP STATE. In Louisiana it’s because we don’t have the Ten Commandments on the wall. For some it’s because Hillary is running a secret cabal of pedofiles, or maybe George Soros is corrupting the country with, what, ads for Democrats?
Seriously. Suck it up. You guys stopped meaningful border reform. You guys stopped assault weapon and bump stock regulation of any kind. You guys praise the guy who wants to inject bleach or swallow lightbulbs to stave off a virus, and you’re prey to any nut job who comes down the pike telling you that it’s Democrats stopping you from getting ahead, even as Republicans lard their already wealthy with even more tax cuts and subsidies that the poor could only dream of.
The level of stupidity is astonishing. If it didn’t make me puke, I’d try to figure out a way to cash in on it too, and it wouldn’t be hard. There’s so much of it around and done by clearly malignant and clueless people. The whole thing sickens me.
