We hear a lot about the "Deep State" these days - especially from MAGA Republicans. They want you to believe that Trump could have "saved" America if not for that nefarious Deep State (who refused to carry out his orders and undermined his presidency). That's bullshit!
I don't doubt there were government employees who refused to carry out some of Trump's desires. That's because those Trump wishes were either illegal or unconstitutional.
The Deep State is nothing more than honest men and women who work for the federal government. They dedicate their lives to serving the citizens of this country (usually at a lower salary than they could have made in the private sector). They are not working because of some evil purpose, but because they have a desire to serve.
They have pledged to uphold the Constitution, and they do so - even when urged to violate it by some politician or business leader. And they uphold the law. If they don't, they will be the ones charged and convicted, and they know that.
They also put up with a lot of abuse from the general public, when they must make decisions that some don't like. But they know that's just part of the job. They are Democrats, Republicans, and Independents that put their politics aside to do the job to the best of their abilities. And they do that regardless of what they might think about the political leaders in charge at any particular time.
They are our neighbors, friends, and associates. And they try their best to treat everyone fairly (whether they know them or not).
These people should not be feared. They should be thanked. They make our lives better.
