"Deep State"
You need to put a "career" in front of occupations so it doesn't sound ominous (career intelligence officers, etc.)
In fairness, the term "deep state" used to be a term referring to unelected bureaucrats in the various government agencies that persisted between admins and carried out the day-to-day operations of empire. Then Trump adopted it and it became a calling card for MAGA cranks.
FWIW I don't agree with the other poster, imo this is just more dem incompetence like we saw in 2016 and 2020, and the deep state is disorganized and their "goals" are more or less the same as those of every establishment politician (including Trump).
