Government takeover by special interest groups
Para a direita, referia-se a "um local (apartamento ou casa) usado como refúgio por uma célula (grupo de ativistas com ideal e atuação afins) de organização política clandestina e servindo também para a realização de reuniões, guarda de material de propaganda, dinheiro, armas, etc." (Wikipédia) Segundo esta visão, o Estado era “aparelhado” por "grupos organizados de militância esquerdista", colocando-se "um companheiro" em cargos públicos importantes. (Leo Rosa, Jusbrasil) Na verdade, esta é uma visão distorcida porque durante a ditadura no Brasil (1964-1985) os cargos importantes eram ocupados exclusivamente pelos militares e por setores da direita. O sistema era bipartidário sem voto direita para vários cargos eletivos, inclusive para a Presidéncia da República. Existia na época a figura do senador biônico, quem lembra? E obviamente todo um aparato ideológico que vigiava e reprimia os movimentos sociais sob o argumento de que eram "comunistas".
Com o processo de abertura e a redemocratização do país, o conceito de "aparelhamento do Estado" também mudou. Atualmente, o termo "aparelhamento" aplica-se à tomada de controle de órgãos ou setores da administração pública por representantes de grupo de interesses corporativos ou partidários, mediante a ocupação de postos estratégicos das organizações do Estado, de modo a colocá-las a serviço dos interesses do grupo. Este fenômeno se observa praticamente em todas as democracias modernas, em maior ou menor grau. Nos Estados Unidos, a corporação adquiriu o status de "pessoa" com todos os direitos e privilégios advindos da nova definição. O tempo se encarregará de mostrar que o aparelhamento do Estado vai na contramão da democracia, definida como o poder que "emana do povo, pelo povo e para o povo."
Não existe uma tradução simples para o termo em questão. Não é o mesmo que "aparelho do Estado" (State apparatus). O mais próximo seria "government takeover by special interest groups".

: I think you have added unintended meaning. The state apparatus includes all the components of government. What you say is valid, but for a different context. This is a political science study.

My understanding of "aparelhamento" is more or less in line with our colleague Egon's comments in the Discussion Board, my own research, and personal experience and knowledge of Brazil's history and politics. I laid out the concept in more explicit terms.

It keeps churches from being pawns of big money and restrains the partisan hijacking of our pulpits.
William Pitt Kellogg was also impeached by the House during a partisan takeover of state government, but his supporters in the Senate didn't

state apparatus
Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses -
A state apparatus cannot be exclusively repressive or exclusively ideological. The distinction between an RSA and an ISA is its primary function in society, respectively, the administration of violent repression and the dissemination of ideology.

Aparelhamento do estado
O Estado foi “aparelhado”. “Aparelho” era o nome dado aos grupos organizados de militância esquerdista. Aparelhar o Estado significa colocar um “companheiro” em cargos públicos importantes. Esse “companheiro” tem uma tarefa: ser “dialético”, ou seja: deve se virar e arranjar dinheiro pra máquina partidária.

Discussion
Hope I made myself comprehensible enough.
But one can "partidarizar" almost anything, in the sense of making that thing a tool for their political party, as you can see here https://folha-online.jusbrasil.com.br/noticias/100054815/em-...
This person is accusing other person of using their church to their own political/electoral gain. Almost as they were "politically weaponizing" a church (something that, in theory, should not be partidarizada). The State is always "partidarizado" because there's always political parties on command. And I wouldn't say we use the word "partidarizar" that much in PT-BR.

https://opiniao.estadao.com.br/noticias/notas-e-informacoes,...
https://veja.abril.com.br/politica/bolsonaro-aparelhamento-d...
"Aparelhamento" is different from "aparelho". And, in reality, I don't think people would even say "aparelho" in relation to the definition of State Apparatus you have given. We would use "o Estado" or "as instituições" or "a União" or even "aparelho estatal".
"The state apparatus includes "the Government, the Administration, the Army, the Police, the Courts, the Prisons, etc." (Althusser, Lenin 96).
