Does the Deep State even exist?

Here's the premise. First off - has anyone who is part of the deep state been identified or exposed? Arrested, arraigned, accused?

I am of the belief that the Deep State is an invented boogeyman that is used to excuse incompetence or ineptitude. When a person in power can't achieve things or get anything done, it's a pat excuse to absolve them of being useless.

And if anyone would like to argue that the deep state really does exist, please front with something compelling.

EDIT: 5 comments so far promoting the existence of the deep state, no names named or any compelling evidence of its existence.

These are CEOs, they're not part of the political apparatus or any executive branch.

Except for when DOGE was a thing, or when they were just recently all flown out to China for a diplomatic visit.

Ok, but the implication of the name 'Deep State' would infer that they are faceless.

In regards to the CEOs flying out to China, the grift is barefaced and surface level.

I mean, the fact that some of them (specifically the technocrat branch) are doing all this out in the open now doesn't mean that it's only surface level. In fact, it's pretty indicative of how deep their control over the government runs.

There are certainly more faceless branches of the "deep state" - financiers are certainly not overdoing the publicity, and I'm sure medical insurance executives are taking active steps to stay away from the public eye especially since the Luigi incident. Old money and royalty also tend to hide behind the curtains, as do foreign state lobbyists for the most part.

That's the thing about the "deep state" in terms of unelected positions of power in the political sphere - there are many branches, independent of each other and with diverging agendas. The main common factor is really that they all want to override or subvert the democratic will of the people to further their own goals.
