No such thing existed, except for trumps shadow government of Barr, Guiliani, Parnas and a couple others.
see my edit, to clarify what the actual deep state is. Even though you should already know this.
Not some strawman of it

Like Fauci is no longer deep state. He was. Now he's a public political player. He doesn't qualify as deep state anymore. Him retaining his job is now a politically relevant issue so he has some democratic backing. Where if no one scrutinizes the position it doesn't. People may have quite literally voted for Biden to keep him
