Yeah, it was surprise. I would love I would love to say that I wasn't that I wasn't surprised that I saw it coming, but I really was surprised. I expected much more on the stuff that you just mentioned, even the gender stuff, especially the immigration stuff. But it is it's it's the firing of the federal workers.

I think that what they're realizing or what I'm realizing is that Elon and Trump or Trump through Elon is now over the actual target, which is, I mean, I think we had this idea that the deep state, which is the scary kind of, um, conspiracy theory sounding thing was like the smoking man from the X-Files, like this guy in the shadows who was really competent in pulling the strings.

But it actually is like this gender queer librarian who works in the federal government and there are thousands of them and they just best case scenario, it's a jobs program and they don't do much of anything. Um, But worst case scenario, there's a small minority who are totally radical and they're opposed to any time a Republican gets in office.

They're opposed to everything they do and they get in the way and they muck up the gears. And you wonder like we voted them in to do these things. Why aren't they doing anything? And it's because of this. It's because we actually β I think we do have a deep state.

It's like what I mean by that is an unelected class of bureaucrats who are controlling the government and now we're being told that dismantling that is akin to anti-democracy. And it's like actually β President Trump was elected and this is what he was elected for. And you're standing on the side of what, the State Department?

Did you see that where they pulled up that upside down American flag outside of the State Department? And you mean to tell me that like the QAnon shaman with his spiky little hat is somehow more dangerous than that? That's much more frightening to me.
