I hope you are able to watch the video. See link at end.
As America closes in on a major election, mistrust is brewing around the mysterious government entity that’s now denounced in scary-sounding terms — “the deep state” and “the swamp.” What do those words even mean? Who exactly do they describe?
We went on a road trip to find out. As we met the Americans who are being dismissed as public enemies, we discovered that they are … us. They like Taylor Swift. They dance bachata. They go to bed at night watching “Star Trek” reruns. They go to work and do their jobs: saving us from Armageddon.
Sure, our tax dollars pay them, but as you’ll see in the video above, what a return on our investment we get!
When we hear “deep state,” instead of recoiling, we should rally. We should think about the workers otherwise known as our public servants, the everyday superheroes who wake up ready to dedicate their careers and their lives to serving us. These are the Americans we employ. Even though their work is often invisible, it makes our lives better.
But if Donald Trump is re-elected and enacts Schedule F, that could change. He would have the power to eviscerate the so-called deep state and replace our public servants with people who work for him, not us.
In the video below, you’ll meet a few of our hard-working American public servants, and we hope you’ll agree that they’re not scary at all. In fact, they’re kind of awesome.

With Trump that would just be the beginning. Policy? SCREW policy, I am after revenge. Liz Chaney will be under arrest, so will Cohen, and Steve Miller will by my AG and we will have TEN thousand babies in cages this time and we will finish the wall, San Diego to Orlando and Mexico will pay for it.
@sonhouse saidAnd if the US enacts Schedule F, you can say goodbye to the US Government doing ANYthing for anybody. Who loses? The same segments of our society that lose now. The poor, minorities and women. Rich white men, not so much. That's not by mistake.
