Please expound the ideals of this house cleaning. Are you suggesting that a more liberal government would be equally acceptable of completing a "cleaning of house".

A left leaning government would collude with the Deep State maintain control of the government irrespective who is elected.

You should provide a definition of the "deep state"as I have no idea of what you are referring to. Please include links to legitimate sources for the definitions.

Do us all a favor and move to Brazil. We don't need un-American enemies of freedom here.

Great, but in due course a new left wing government will be elected. That is the reality of elections.

No, here in the US we have a constitution that prevents that.

Why do you hate the rule of law and freedom?

Here's a more detailed article in English

Ideological purge

Lorenzoni said the ideological purge of contractors aimed "to do away with the Socialist and Communist ideas that during 30 years have led us to the chaos in which we live."

Bolsonaro and his team have often described their rival parties, in particular the left-wing Workers Party that governed between 2003 and 2016, as "socialists" or "communists."

"It doesn't make sense to have a government with a profile like ours to keep on people who support another way of thinking, another political system," Lorenzoni said, adding that some of those dismissed might be rehired if they passed an "evaluation" of their ideological leanings.

The purge will not affect those civil servants who enter the services through a competitive exam and are protected from partisan politics by the constitution.

So this is only of actual administrative employees, which makes perfect sense, if you are going to make a country great again only people on board with that agenda should be supervising those departments. This doesn't effect all public employees, only those who serve at the pleasure of the president. It's more akin to selecting the cabinet then a true "purge"

Here in the United States, we have a president who also wants to drain the swamp. As we all know, he is not doing so well, for the Establishment has too much at stake to let him succeed.

So maybe President Bolsonaro should proceed cautiously. Of course, he knows that the Brazilian military has taken "vigorous" action in the past against presidents that did not keep their place.

The deep state is like when they speak of Jesus. It's whatever they imagine it to be. You can't expect magical thinkers to be logical thinkers. Once they dip their toe in stupid, the rest of them must follow with a belly flop.
