re: The deep state takes everyone out eventually. Putin interview drops and they take

Mid-level, long-term burocrats with an agenda can do much damage on their own - not requiring coordination.

It is likely true that some exists on both sides; however, considering the vast majority are in DC (an area that votes 95% Democrat), it is clear that the majority of them come from the left.

We can provide example upon example of people who have acted as part of the "deep state," even if they don't have membership cards and secret handshakes.

-Vindman undermined a president, because HE did not like Trump's methods or politics. He then used politics via Congress to disrupt the Trump administration for at least a year.
-Peter Strzok and Lisa Page undermined a president with their own agenda supported by their private texts. They had enough power within the FBI to disrupt the Trump administration for years.
-Lois Lerner used her power in the IRS to attack those supporting conservative issues for years.


NONE of these people were elected and most were not even appointed. Rather, they worked their way up in the DC political culture and used their own politics and agenda to disrupt the country (i.e., "Deep State").


I know other examples could be added, but I thought this was enough to answer your "honest" question.
