If your argument is that it wasn't really the States, that instead it was ackshually corporate overlords I'd have to question your sanity. Tech couldn't do what it's doing if it weren't for the States willingness to allow it. Companies firing over political ideology? Could be fined out of existence for doing so and indeed have been over the years. The States could have done anything they wanted, realistically, when it came to the election, tech censorship, and so much more. The bottom line is that that Bureaucracy of States like Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, GA, etc. are primarily made up of progressives and democrats. Who a specific elected official and their immediate staff are make little difference, when the machine is controlled by the lifelong "career" appointees.
It's like you want to use "the swamp" as an insult without understanding what it means. McConnell is not "the swamp" he's an elected official. "The Swamp" refers to the appointees that run the actual system. When a new Mayor or Governor comes into office and they don't know the system, they rely on said Swamp to govern. Same with Presidents and often even Senators and Reps, who continue to utilize many of the previous Congresspeople's staff.
Tell you what, if you think you "really know how it works" why don't you go run for office and see how well you can effect the changes you want to see, and just how massive the government machine is that'll work against you, and how they'll utilize their buddies in Tech to knock you the fuck out. :)
corrupt politicans and swamp rates destroying the country, as you see people in both parties turned against Trump, half the country is to clueless to realize wtf is going on
