It blows my mind that there are no legal blocks in place to prevent this (yeah, I know it's because this shit was so unthinkable that nobody prepared for it). This yahoo is on a mission to destroy EVERYTHING America was supposed to stand for. SOMETHING has to be done to stop this shit!

The deep state is just the bureaucracy, it spans administrations via careerists and institutions (as in just literally being important in a department). It is not inherently good or bad when decontextualized, but because the US is an empire premised on others' disposession, it tends to mean that disposession is done very effectively regardless of who might technically be in power.
