You've prob been annoyed by the worst posters on C-SPAM sperging out about the deep state.

You have questions like:
- What is the deep state?
- Why does it matter?
- Why do people care?



Over the last week or so a 4th branch of the US government revealed that they exist and have vast power. That alone should be a WHOAH moment.

This was a conspiracy theory till a few days ago. Now everyone, including important people are talking about the deep state as through it exists. And is powerful. And their friend.

Things the Deep State likes:
  • Powerpoint Presentations
  • Boring old white guys talking
  • Coffee
  • Super complicated low energy never ending foreign wars

"When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

I also don't think they are bad, or even bad people or anything like that.

They are patriots. Mostly ex-military, people who've made working for the USG their life work.

They love america so much that they are trying to save herself from herself. And when they see America cutting herself in the bathroom they dull all the razors in the house. If that makes any sense.

The way the deep state is going after Trump admin is unconstitutional.

The biggest flaw of the deep state is they are unconstitutional. Unless they have a different version of the US constitution... which wouldn't surprise me. An unwritten 0th article: "protect america from americans"

They are Bad because their sincerest loyalty lies to the people they work with (not the ones they're supposed to work for). It's your Colonial Office mentality but like fifty years after that closed.
