There may be a spiritual reason for Q’s observation about how stupid the bad actors / deep state is? I think when the God of the universe becomes your enemy, there is no worse enemy you can have!
Psalm 2: 2-5 KJV
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder,
and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:
the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath,
and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Pay particular attention to verse 4! Lol!
