An astounding number of federal officials working in Washington, D.C., have plans to oppose President Donald Trump from within the government. Deep state to shape His second season.
DC-based officials are split along partisan boundaries, with Republicans dividing with Republicans who plan to oppose him, according to an RMG investigation that was commissioned to coincide with Trump’s first 100 days. 75% of bureaucrats who voted Vice President Kamala Harris In November, they say they don’t follow the legal Trump order, considering it as a bad policy.
Amid a refreshing change since Trump’s first term, government Republicans are primarily planning to support the president, the investigation found. This means that the phenomenon of the deep state of Trump 47 falls along partisan boundaries, in contrast to the deep state of Trump 45, where many Republicans joined Democrats.
This partisan disparity reflects voter polarization, but it remains to be noted that people working for the government plan to undermine the president from within their administration.
Who is the “federal government administrator”?
RMG Research, the company led by Scott Rasmussen, conducted three surveys in mid-March to study three different segments of the population. The voting company focused on what is called the 1% of elites who earned a graduate degree, earning over $150,000 a year and living in densely populated areas. Americans on Main Street who do not meet any of these three criteria and make up 70% to 75% of the US population. Federal Manager – A federal employee who lives in the national capital area around Washington and earns at least $75,000 a year.
While Americans on Main Street tend to have less faith in government and want American freedom, 1% of elites tend to have more faith in government, and Americans say they have too much freedom. Federal managers tend to support more governments, regardless of party.
Deep state that shapes
The RMG study looked into bureaucrats in December and asked very important questions.
“Imagine you’re the head of a federal agency. Imagine that President Trump gave you a legal order, but you believed it was a bad policy. The investigation asked.
Only 17% of Democrat managers who voted for Harris said they would follow Trump’s orders, while triple (64%) said they would ignore it. This corresponds to a declaration that they plan to act like a deep state and oppose the elected president.
In March, the numbers got even more serious.
This time only 16% A bureaucrat voting for Harris They said they would follow Trump’s orders, but three-quarters (75%) said they would ignore it. This means that even while Trump was culling bureaucracy, many federal employees have become more brave in their desire to join deep states.
Meanwhile, most federal administrators (80%) who voted for Trump said they would follow the order, but 18% said they would do what they thought was the best.
The RMG study also asked bureaucrats whether they would support or resist the government.
Naturally, bureaucrats Who voted for Trump? Overwhelmedly, they said they support the administration (92%), 47% said they plan to “strongly support” it, while 45% say they plan to “slightly support” it. The remaining 8% said they “do not support or resist.”
Meanwhile, bureaucrats voting for Harris did not say he or she “strongly support” the administration, and only 7% said they “slightly support it.” The majority (76%) said they resisted “somewhat” (35%) or “strongly” (41%).
Partisan division
The RMG study asked bureaucrats about specific policies in the Trump administration and found credible partisan disparities on most issues. This division once again confirms the idea that while left-leaning bureaucrats are forming a deep state, conservative federal employees are aiming to follow Trump’s orders.
For example, most Republican bureaucrats (52%) say Trump’s efforts are Send illegal aliens 10% said they went too far because they didn’t go well. Most Democrats (56%) said the deportation had gone too far, but only 17% said they didn’t make it enough.
About half of Republicans said government efficiency cuts have not been enough, but 12% said they have gone too far. Most Democrats (60%) said Doge Cuts It’s going too far, but 18% said they haven’t done it well.
Most Republicans (92%) said they hope Trump’s tax cuts will be permanent, but most Democrats (78%) said they disagreed.
The survey found that bureaucracy is almost evenly divided, with 48% of federal managers voting for Harris and 47% voting for Trump. A December poll showed Harris voters surpassed Trump voters, up from 52% to 45%. This shift is primarily within the margin of error, but it could also reflect the changes brought about by Trump’s policies.
Elite 1% participate in resistance, but there is a catch
Almost half (48%) of the 1% elite respondents said they would work to support Trump in December. In a survey in March, only 41% of respondents said they were planning to support the new administration. Meanwhile, 39% said they would resist Trump in December, and that number was marked up to 45% in March.
RMG’s study asked the elite to 1% what they would do if they were heads of federal agencies and faced a legitimate Trump order that they considered bad policies. In December, 49% said they would follow the president’s orders, but only 38% said they would ignore it. In March, only 43% said they would follow the order, while 45% said they would disagree.
While the elites are separated from Trump, there is a huge gender gap between them.
Most elite men (61%) approved the president, while most elite women (71%) disapproved. Elite men proved that they are more likely to say they support the regime (55%) than opposed it (36%). Opposition is also true among elite women who are more likely to oppose it (56%) than to support it (26%).
Elites are more likely to agree with bureaucrats on important issues, but when they asked if cutting government spending was good or bad for the economy, they tasted voters.
More than half of the elite (56%) said that cutting government spending was “very good” (23%) or “somewhat good” (33%) in the economy, while 34% said “somewhat bad” (21%) or “very bad” (13%).
This is in line with most voters (62%) who say that cutting spending is “very good” (26%) or “somewhat good” (34%), and 29% who say that it’s bad.
Officials have proven more division, with 46% saying that cuts in spending would be harmful to the economy, while 42% said it would help.
Isolation from voters
A survey by RMG found that bureaucrats and 1% of elites tend to not make eye contact with voters.
When asked whether government control and regulation of the economy would be better or worse for the economy, it was proven that bureaucrats and elites were more likely to support the government.
Voters are likely saying they have little government control, with better regulations (53%) (28%). Democrats favored fewer controls (51%) (38%), while Republican bureaucrats favored fewer controls (55%) (44%). Also, more elites favored more (40%) than more control (50%).
In another RMG survey in March, 77% of voters were responsible for “not paying enough attention to what voters want.”
The survey also found an important gap on issues that voters and bureaucrats consider most important.
The RMG study asked respondents to say in their own words the political issues they consider most important. Voters chose some form of economy (35%), immigration (17%), Trump (8%), and war (5%). The economy has also emerged as the biggest problem for bureaucrats (20%) and elites (23%), but climate change has attracted more attention in both bureaucrats (8%) and elites (9%) than immigrants. Officials mentioned health care (9%) and guns or crime (8%) more than voters.
The RMG survey looked at 1,000 registered voters on March 25th. 1,000 elite 1% voters from March 26th to March 26th, and 500 federal government managers from March 18th to March 25th. Elite 1% errors are 3.1% or minus 3.1%, while federal manager errors are 4.4% or minus 4.4%.
Check for deep conditions
The investigation confirms that administrative national planning bureaucrats oppose Trump from within, whether it means rejecting a legitimate order or engaging in political activities against Trump outside of working hours.
This deep state phenomenon undermined the first Trump administration, and the president began his efforts to oppose it with this new one.
My book, “Woketopus: A dark money cobalt operating the federal governmentreveals how major donors on the left support the vast network of awakened activist groups who staffed and advised the federal government under Biden.
Many of the same groups that influenced the Biden administration, such as the American Civil Liberties Union and the Center for Progress in America, are suing Trump to block his policies. The United States Federation of Government Employees, the largest union within the federal government and part of the WoketoPas Union AFL-CIO, has filed multiple lawsuits to hamstring Trump’s efforts.
Congress can help Trump fights this deep state A phenomenon caused by passing laws that hinder federal public sector unions, curb regulations and prevent laws that block the laws of institutions isolated from the president, such as the Consumer Financial Protection Agency.
