Republicans are stoking fears of a left wing “deep state”. In fact, they seem intent on creating one. The Bush administration was caught screening attorney candidates for their political and religious beliefs (see “attorney gate”). During the Obama administration, they blocked huge numbers of judicial appointments until they could get their guys in office, then started filling those positions with appointees selected by a far right wing organization. Now they want to flush all non-conservative employees from law enforcement, leaving only Trump supporters. You know, so they know they are all “patriots”.
