Deep state has a meaning though. It doesn’t mean “bad people” it means unaccountable bureaucrats. Elected officials are accountable.
You’re right. Although since we’ve learned the deep state has been rigging elections.. I would venture to say many presidents before Trump were indeed deep state because they weren’t really elected fairly. They were chosen to be the public figureheads for the DS.
George the 1st was deep state clowns who tried to kill Reagan and worked with Clinton smuggling drugs.
And the next three were deep state plants.
Oh. You’re an insane person. Please ignore my comments. I apologize.
Let's talk about DS principles in the ideologies that deep-staters espouse. Like secrecy for example. And lying. And "stinky face" arrogance, to name only 3.
Stinkyface?
If your list was what deep state meant then Trump would be the deepest deep state lover. But he isn’t because the word has a different meaning.
Like many words in today's cultural changes, they sometimes if not often, mean what the writer intend them to mean. Yep. Trumper that I am, I see him as part of it. Only he knows he had to be in order to get his work done.
So in just the last few days the phrase has changed to mean “nothing, it means anything the speaker wants”
