Re your footnote: "Certain conservative rubes applauded this dictum, apparently believing that the staff at TwitterDotCom are a bunch of pampered layabouts who spend all day playing minesweeper instead of tending to their TPS reports. This view is only really possible if you have zero experience with tech world. Because say what you will about the civilization-destroying effects of social media: The people who run these doomsday machines put in plenty of hours."
The same "certain conservative rubes" firmly believe civil service employees -- particularly those they deem 'deep state' -- are pampered layabouts who spend their time playing solitaire and checking porn sites on government computers while occasionally stopping to text about overthrowing God's deputy on earth.
And yet, the pampered layabouts find time to do their jobs serving and actually protecting Americans of all stripes (even certain conservative rubes), who always seem surprised by the layabouts' successes and their own cock-ups.
And those same conservative rubes ELECT pampered senators/representatives/governors/presidents who do literally nothing for them except give rallies and ask for money.

Most curious.
