Let's Explore The 'Deep State'....

[global1]

The conspiracy theorist's (CT's) ;Tr**p cultist's and the Repug's use the term 'Deep State' whenever there is some sort of action that's anti-Tr**p or anti-Repug. They claim that it's a sinister force created by the Dems to impart harm to them.

But I'd like to pose this alternative explanation of the 'Deep State' to these CT's; cultist's and Repug's.

If there really is a 'Deep State' operating under the radar of our government - wouldn't the 'Deep State' really maybe try and fool you into thinking it is the Dems behind it - when in reality - the 'Deep State' is really a CT; cultish; Repug creation used to take advantage of your penchant for conspiracies; your racism; your hate for LGBTQ; and sexist way's to con you into supporting their anti-constitutional, fascist, racist, anti-american platforms to benefit the super rich and the corporations?

Haven't you ever given it a thought that you might be being taken advantage - and that this is a real conspiracy.

Look at all they are wanting you to support. Did you ever think you'd be supporting a treasonous criminal and anti-american groups that ransacked the Capitol (the symbol of our Government).

We can go down the list of how this 'Deep State' is taking you down a rabbit hole to destroy our Democracy.

Just ruminate on those thoughts for a while if you really are a conspiracy theorist. Is this 'Deep State' is really a - double agent in disguise.

3. They call it "the Deep State"

And they use it to refer to career professionals in power (generally in DC). They're referring to the people who don't often change between administrations. Bureaucrats, middle managers. Your mid to upper people in a company who wield some independence and power within their spheres no matter who the boss is, who will take initiative on their own without much interference.

For instance, if someone has been in upper management in the FBI for twenty or thirty years, they'd be suspected as being part of the Deep State.

It sort of morphed from the idea about the permanent bureaucracy, which is what they used to call it. However, around 2016 with Russiagate, the idea took hold on the Right, and they've been banging that drum ever since. They trace who is connected to whom, what past activities they've been a part of, if they're political donors, who does favors for whom, etc.

It's a total rabbit hole.

6. Bureaucracies are the enemy of criminals that want to steal from the state

The one of the reasons civilizations invented bureaucracies was so that no one person had complete control over the administration of government functions, and that it would it make it more difficult to funnel money to yourself without the knowledge of the sovereign.
