The "#DeepState" beaurocrats that corrected some of the #OrangePeril's severest assaults on the American system will quickly be replaced by 100% loyal MAGAT|s, which were vetted by the #Project205 taskforce put in place by the #FederalistSociety.

The #Senate seems to have been flipped Red already, and the #House....

Have you ever wondered why a green light means “go” in every state? That’s the administrative state in action.

That’s just one small example of how the bureaucrats of the federal government make our democracy work for us and not just rich white men It’s how 122 million people cooperated to make complex, modern society work.

Undoing the ‘deep state’ means Trump would undo over a century of progress in building a federal government for the people and not just for rich white men

Conservatives defend efforts to dismantle the federal bureaucracy as tactics against tyranny, but Americans exercise their sovereignty through these civil services.

Americans' #Trust in #Media Remains at Trend Low

Trust in political and civic institutions highest for local and state #governments, lowest for media and #Congress

In an age of #fake news, #propaganda, #maga, #Twitter #bots and Russian #troll factories, we actually need trustworthy journalism. I must once again explicitly point out that the principle of "trust nobody" does not mean no longer believing official sources and only consuming unfiltered news from Russian-controlled #Telegram channels and basing your world view on them.

"Trust nobody but don't stop thinking - if you belive the earth is flat you are far beyond a border no one should pass!"

Americans' Trust in Media Remains at Trend Low

Americans' confidence in the media is at its lowest point, as Democrats' confidence is near the record low and Republicans' is almost nonexistent.
