Yes let's. The swamp is going to fight him tooth and nail. They already are.Trusting Trump will drain the swamp is like trusting the Creature from the Black lagoon. So now he has a chance to dismantle "the deep state" phantom. 2-4 years of no one else to blame. Let's see how we do.
And that's the problem. Bureaucrats who set policy and regulations and rules for the reat us. Unelected officials who can tell us how we should operate in our daily lives. Unbeholden to us who pay them. Many with an ideological bent.
And there are those who operate in direct opposition to those with conservative views and values while supporting and excusing and offering assistance to those with liberal ideas.
Generally, the people who actually set policy, regulations and rules are the political appointees, not the career civil servants. The career civil servants have institutional knowledge of what needs to get done - day to day, month to month and year to year - and how to do it.And that's the problem.

It should be, but they are unionized and it's rare they are. Becauae by the time it goes through the process the appointees are gone. Hopefully the new appointees will immediately clean house and get people in who will not actively oppose them.Insubordination can be a fireable offense.

Can you give us some examples of where you see this happening? I don't work at the federal level but I have never seen this in the local municipality. It is always the elected official setting the direction and us civil servants carrying out their directions. Now that is not to say there is not conflict on occasion, there certainly is. But there is no one I have ever seen actively opposing the direction set by elected representatives.I don't think that's true. The civil servants are involved in that. Probably not the secretaries, but the higher ups who aren't appointees. They are involved in it. Sometimes actively opposing the appointees.

I know rhats what you and others on rhe left think, but that's not going to happen. Neither Trump nor the rest of us care about the little guys. So you can put that to rest. All this hand wringing over "but they are civil servants! How dare you disparage these dear people who are only working for us out of a love for our country!" (Play the national anthem)The new appointees can only clean out higher level, non protected civil servants, upper management.
Trump wants to be able to get rid of anyone insufficiently loyal to him. This is the old Spoils System which is highly corrupt.

We don't care about the secretaries and the clerks, the janitors or the mail room people.
It's the upper management that needs to go. I think I've already explained this. Although a few middle managers could go to and that wouldn't hurt my feelings if they were involved in ideological manipulations of law and policy .

A group of oligarchs who run the country for self benefit. They are the deep state.Trump has long warned of a government ‘deep state.’ Now in power [for 4 months], he’s under pressure to expose it
“IF IT’S EASY,” the commenter posted, “WHY HASN’T YOUR ADMINISTRATION FOUND THESE CRIMINAL’S ALREADY.”
