The rumor of that curse circulated at lot around 1980, but in 2000 it didn't get much mention.
Some of the fancy D.C. neighborhoods and suburbs that deepstaters prefer are the ones around Georgetown university and stretching west from there out along MacArthur Blvd out to Glen Echo and all around American university, most of NW D.C. is their territory. Theres hundreds of thousands of these people living in the D.C metro area though and they can't all fit inside the city limits, most of them are in Virginia, especially in the region around CIA headquarters in Virginia, which is across the river from NW D.C. and a little bit further out of town. Langley, Great Falls & McLean are the suburban VA towns just outside D.C. where a lot of the deepstate has their home addresses, VA has bigger properties available than D.C. and lower state taxes. Chevy Chase & Bethesda in Maryland are also popular locations and Silver Spring is also popular with deepstaters.
Even though he is the nation's chief law enforcement officer, President Trump can't have anyone arrested because the deepstaters in the deepstate department who would be ordered to make the arrest will either find a reason to refuse or find a way to fuck it up. If the deepstate didn't manage to find a way to fail at the arrest and destroy all of the evidence in the process then the arrestee would go before a deepstate judge to be prosecuted by a deepstate prosecutor and there would be no conviction. If President Trump wanted to have Hunter Biden or any of the others arrested then he would probably have to grab his gun and some cuffs and go and do it himself.
