The term 'deep state' has conspiracy theory connotations that allows some people take it less than seriously. The correct term is the administrative state. In the US government this is a vast number of people who have not been elected. They are appointed or hired by the current administration or are holdovers from previous administrations.

That is a relative opinion by these people. They were not hired or appointed to make policy. Their job is to carry out the policies of the current administration. If they refuse or try to subvert that policy they are subverting the will of the electorate. If they feel strongly about their 'reasonable' opinions they should resign their cushy government jobs and run for office or get a job in the media. These people, the '#resistance' are why people call it the deep state.
