Translation; there really is “the deep state” of faceless zealots in the government and they are the “threat from within” Trump spoke about. All the media denials, lies and distortions to the contrary are just that.

It never fails. The autocratic morons on the left always believe they should be the ultimate "deciders" of everything.

Federal bureaucrats plan resistance to Trump admin

Survey reveals 42% of senior government employees intend to oppose president's policies

That means that Trump needs to fire or get rid of 50% of senior government employees.

A recent survey of senior government employees revealed that 42% plan to work against the incoming Trump administration.

According to Tyler O’Neil, managing editor of the Daily Signal, “A surprising number of federal government employees admit they are gearing up to act like a deep state, opposing the incoming second administration of Donald Trump.”

He cited a poll by RMG Research Survey, commissioned by the Napolitan Institute.

This should not surprise us. Much of the federal bureaucracy was recruited from liberals who came to Washington to impose their values and views on Americans. Many regulatory agencies consider it their job to force the American people to do what bureaucrats proscribe.

Mr. Trump and the Make America Great Again movement are a mortal threat to these bureaucrats. If Mr. Trump does what he said he would do during the campaign, he will threaten the lifetime work of many senior federal bureaucrats. The Trump administration will wipe out everything they spent years trying to impose on the American people.

The new Elon Musk-Vivek Ramaswamy Dept. of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is an example of the threat Mr. Trump represents to establishment bureaucrats. The DOGE’s goal to cut $2 trillion from government spending will shatter the bureaucratic Washington establishment’s patterns, habits, procedures, and systems.

Imagine you spent 20 or 30 years methodically building a system that would let you achieve your ideological goals – even if the American people opposed you. Then imagine your life’s work is suddenly threatened by outsiders who are businesspeople who thrived outside the typical Washington environment. You would be horrified. For you, the barbarians are at the gate.

This is not a new problem. A senior George W. Bush Defense Department official once told me the Pentagon bureaucracy just hunkers down to outlast new administrations. They refer to appointed officials as “the summer help.”


 
During the first Trump administration, a senior State Department official pointed out to me that there were about 27 appointees in the Foreign Service and 13,000 full-time bureaucrats who opposed them. Like the Paul Newman film “Fort Apache, the Bronx,” he told me, “We are in the building, and they are surrounding us.”

This continual problem of bureaucracies manipulating or ignoring elected officials was brilliantly captured in two BBC TV series, “Yes, Minister” and “Yes, Prime Minister.” Producer Antony Jay was a senior adviser to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Many episodes grew out of actual civil service manipulation against the prime minister. She said it was her favorite TV show. Every Trump appointee should watch the series.

Mr. Trump can’t achieve his extraordinary goals if 43% of his senior bureaucracy actively undermines him. Furthermore, bureaucracies that overrule elected officials violate President Abraham Lincoln’s principle, which he articulated at Gettysburg. We want a “government of the people, by the people, for the people.”

Lincoln understood the importance of the elected executive controlling the instruments of government. In a small government (which exploded in size to win the Civil War), Lincoln replaced 1,200 of the 1,500 policy-making bureaucrats.

Since many of the people Lincoln replaced were Southerners or pro-Southers, he could not possibly have won the war had they stayed in their positions. Replacing his opponents in the government with supporters was one of the key decisions that enabled the Union to endure four long, bitter years of war and prevail.
 
President Trump's actions to reshape the federal workforce is stirring up quite a buzz in Washington.

By ordering government employees to return to the office and reducing their job protections, the President is making significant changes that will have far-reaching effects.

This move is likely to clear out the useless deadwood, but should also improve the functionality of various government agencies.

It will be interesting to see how these changes unfold and what the implications will be for the future of the federal workforce.
 
The Revolution is not remotely considering the movement defeated.....they are now more sure than ever that we must be enslaved.
