It blows my mind that there are no legal blocks in place to prevent this (yeah, I know it's because this shit was so unthinkable that nobody prepared for it). This yahoo is on a mission to destroy EVERYTHING America was supposed to stand for. SOMETHING has to be done to stop this shit!

That’s just the state and the states employees civil servants. You’ve made a new definition and claimed something exists because you’ve subverted the meaning.

Politicians don’t, and never have run government. That’s not their job. The job of a politician is to decide legislation and policy of the state. This is carried out by civil servants.

The deep state is made entirely of state employees and civil servants, exactly. The only distinction made is that the deep state bureaucracy can run its own agendas, even against elected executive leadership. Can you think of any departments or agencies that have exhibited such behavior?
