I agree with your “its too late.” The deep state is like a cancer that is eating up the body of the poor chap who has it. The guy was 6 foot, 220 pounds of solid muscle and got cancer and now he is 6 foot and 125 pounds of skin and bones, skin is yellow or dull coloring. The deep state has eaten its way into the very soul of America and is chomping away at the soul, our Constitution. When it and the Bill of Rights have been eaten, then America falls like a house of cards.
America literally has AIDS, a virus which has attacked its immune system. The virus is the political left, a.k.a. the modern Democrat Party and all its permutations.
You can never “compromise” with this virus. You can’t deal with it, only eliminate it.
