Red Alert: Biden Planting ‘Booby Trap’ for Republican Presidents
When a president is so beholden to bureaucrats that they — not the president — make the big decisions, you no longer have a representative democracy. You have a bureaucratic dictatorship.
It’s easy to conclude that this is the case with Joe Biden. Biden is, to put it mildly, mentally not all there. That leaves the helm to the deep state bureaucrats, and they like being in control.
They like it so much that they want to keep it that way, even if someone like Donald J. Trump or Ron DeSantis becomes president in 2024. How can they pull it off?
On Friday, the White House unveiled a proposal that would make it harder for a president to take back control from a federal bureaucracy that is loaded with leftists, Betsy McCaughey wrote in The New York Sun.
According to McCaughey, it’s a “booby trap” that, if tripped, could upend the country.
Trump issued an executive order in 2020 reclassifying federal employees who make policy as at-will employees who can be terminated. Biden “canceled it immediately,” McCaughey wrote.
The proposed rule unveiled by the Biden administration on Friday would slow a president trying to reinstate Trump’s order. The New York Times called the rule an attempt to “Trump-proof the federal workforce.”
It makes sense if you’re a die-hard leftist who will stop at nothing to seize and keep power. It’s worse than a Shakespearean tragedy because it’s not at all dramatic — it would make a terrible play.
Is Biden a puppet of the deep state?
Hannah Arendt was right when she said evil is banal. Bureaucrats are boring and, because of this, they are dangerous.
If you hadn’t noticed, the federal bureaucracy is almost monolithically liberal. According to McCaughey, “95 percent of unionized federal employees who donate to political candidates give to Democrats.” Only 5 percent donate to Republicans.
McCaughey gave a litany of examples of lefty bureaucrats obstructing the Trump agenda in one way or another.
Remember the career health official Dr. Deborah Birx, who did her best to get around Trump’s instructions to moderate COVID lockdowns?
How about the Environmental Protection Agency lawyers who waged a bureaucratic war against fossil fuel producers, or the Justice Department prosecutors who turned a blind eye to Yale University’s discrimination against Asian-Americans?
The list goes on.
If the Biden administration gets its way and institutes this new rule, it won’t just “Trump-proof the federal workforce.” It will make it next to impossible for elected officials to get rid of unelected bureaucrats.
If federal bureaucrats can’t be fired, it means they are in charge. Elected officials will work for the bureaucrats, not the other way around.
Haven’t we had enough of that already?

Why is it important for citizens to hold elected officials accountable and demand transparency in government

Biden may not intentionally be a puppet of the deep state, but his actions certainly align with their interests. By undoing Trump’s executive order and proposing rules that would make it harder for future Republican presidents to regain control of the federal bureaucracy, Biden is effectively empowering the unelected bureaucrats who wield immense power behind the scenes.
This should concern every American who values the principles of a representative democracy. The deep state, with its own agenda and priorities, should not be allowed to undermine the will of the people and subvert the democratic process.
As Betsy McCaughey pointed out, the proposed rule is a “booby trap” for Republican presidents. It is a deliberate attempt to ensure that left-leaning bureaucrats maintain their hold on power, regardless of who is elected as president. This is not how a democracy should function.
One of the fundamental principles of a democracy is the ability for the elected leader to appoint individuals who share their vision and can help implement their policies. By making it harder to remove entrenched bureaucrats and replace them with individuals who align with the current administration, Biden is effectively limiting the power of future Republican presidents and perpetuating the influence of the deep state.
Furthermore, this move sets a dangerous precedent. If left unchecked, it could lead to a situation where unelected bureaucrats have more power and influence than the elected representatives of the people. This undermines the very foundation of our democracy and erodes the trust and confidence that the American people have in their government.
It is crucial that we recognize the implications of Biden’s actions and push back against this encroachment on our democratic institutions. We must demand transparency and accountability from our elected officials, and ensure that they are working in the best interests of the American people, not the entrenched interests of the deep state.
As Hannah Arendt famously said, “The essence of totalitarian government, and perhaps the nature of every bureaucracy, is to make functionaries and mere cogs in the administrative machinery out of men, and thus to dehumanize them.” We cannot allow ourselves to become mere cogs in the bureaucratic machinery. We must fight for the preservation of our democracy and the principles upon which our nation was founded.
In conclusion, Biden’s actions regarding the federal bureaucracy raise serious concerns about the state of our democracy. By undoing Trump’s executive order and proposing rules that would make it harder for future Republican presidents to regain control, Biden is effectively empowering the deep state and limiting the power of the elected leader. This is not how a representative democracy should function, and it is incumbent upon us, as concerned citizens, to hold our elected officials accountable and demand transparency and accountability in our government. The future of our democracy depends on it.
