They're trying, but it's not under the control of the surface level government, but deeply hidden departments far outside the public gaze.

My best guess is that it's either being operated out of a Masonic Lodge hidden deep in a blue city (hence the takeover of LA) or is a clandestine operation of an open government department (hence DOGE shutdown of NWS, for example).

This is how the Deep State typically operates, anyway- see this Communist false flag example from Italy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_Due

But they'll get there eventually
