Deep state is fine if led by sensible people that execute the laws of the people as passed by Congress even though such laws are contary to their beliefs. They are not the crafters of policy, but are the ones that execute policy. When the state becomes arrogant as believes it is the gatekeeper of society and the moral compass of America, then we are in deep crap. The Blob of bureaucrats have no soul, are amoral, and hell bent on homogenizing us in into a society of mindless follwers.
