If there's a "deep state", it's people in those departments that want to do their jobs in spite of the buffoonery above them (where the stated goal has been to gut those departments).
Not unlike my world in IT--if we listened to the silly crap the upper management told us to do, our company would go under. Our pointy-haired management sits around reading tech blogs all day, a buzzword catches in whatever brain matter they have left after playing corporate politics for years, and they come to us to tell us to use whatever the thing is. We smile and nod, and build things right. They forget about the ooo shiny in a week and grab all the glory and credit for a working productive application, that's what being a big exec is all about in my experience.
If there's a deep state, I'm rooting for it.
