Well said. What's definitely an interesting proposition (changing the bureaucracy is incredibly hard and the bureaucracy resists) becomes "Obama built GLADIO in the FBI!1!".
And it's a good debate to have, because "how responsive should the bureaucracy be to successive governments?" is a perfectly fair question. Do we really want one that whiplashes every 4-8 years? Probably not. But we do want one that's under the control of the people we elected!
And now that well is poisoned. Because TDS means that all of a sudden libs inherently trust every government agency (ok, maybe not DHS, but I bet they will if Biden wins).
