Yes, you admitted above that you are far more interested in the tearing down of our institutions, which is why you support Trump. The antithesis of conservative.
I was very much an institutionalist. I live and work in the Washington DC Milieux, and have for a few decades, and I know many fine people at the FBI, CIA, State Department, so on and so forth, but after what we have witnessed over these past several years, having to do with Trump, I no longer trust any of these institutions.
Austen this is what I don't get. It's Trump's hand picked staffers that testified against him during the Jan 6 committee hearings. It's been Trump's legal and campaign staff who have pled guilty or turned state's evidence in GA and elsewhere. These aren't deep state or Dems. They are people he himself chose to work with. Why doesn't that compute with his supporters? These weren't CIA, FBI, Secret Service, or State Department hacks on the stand. They were Trump's people. It's delusional to refuse to face these facts.
Which is telling.
It’s not interesting.

Our institutions have become sullied, poisonous, dirty, dishonest.
So tear it all down and start over with Trump in charge?
I am hoping for internal revolutions at each of the institutions.
Do you have any idea how radicalized you sound?
Do you realize how radicalized millions of us have become over what has happened these past years?
Yes. Radicalized by the cult of Trump.
And I would add that many of the fine people that I know in these institutions are also deeply troubled about what has happened to them.

So none of these “problems” existed prior to Trump? And you believe everything Trump says over anything these institutions say?
