The “Deloitte Pride Float” was good specifically because it did not represent a strong institutional commitment to LGBT rights and was instead a somewhat insincere attempt to court the favor of the LGBT community. I struggle to understand a theory of mind for people who didn’t get that.

Not for nothing, as a high schooler I chose Swarthmore over Yale because I was impressed by its strong institutional commitment to social justice (relative to other places, anyway).
Seems like they're determined to trash that legacy.

We didn’t dismantle USAID under Bush. There was at least still some institutional and ideological commitment to “compassionate conservatism” and “hearts and minds” during that era. The Trumpists see soft power as weakness.

We do indeed have a "deep state". It is a testament to the enduring strength of the U.S. government—deep in expertise, deep in commitment to stability, and deep in safeguarding democracy. It’s built on institutional knowledge and resilience. It is a pillar of our society, not a nefarious force.
