Somebody unironically admits he supports the Deep State, wants them to (continue to) sabotage lawfully elected leadership, and thinks the Deep State exists to prevent tyranny rather than perpetuate it.
Democracy, we have a problem here, and it ain't the orange doofus.

So because the system held when he took his first shot at it, and it wasn’t as bad as people were originally saying we should let him take another shot? The deep state can’t hold forever.

You won't get rid of government institutions acting in favor of their own interests. Either you can fight them - good luck with that - or try to find a common ground with them.
And just to see the obvious thing, a government whose interests are deep and broad his favorable to a government whose interest is a small handful of oligarchs in their families
That is a pretty good working model of tyranny.
Free societies, and indeed tyrannies that need to function, survive long-term only via successful dissent and calculated coalition-building to oppose over-reaching institutions.
Both the USA and USSR were deliberately designed with a three-way institutional conflict baked in.
I don't talk about whether the blue or the red party wins an election. The institutions (jurisdiction, police, tax office, defense, local administration) are made up of people.
These people aren't elected, and you cannot change everything with an election all the time. But these institutions are necessary and the people of these institutions have their own interests.
