More sinister, actually. The party out of power in England has their own unofficial “shadow government” to make speeches, write newspaper articles, etc. opposing the real government.
“The Deep State” is not a small collection of politicians as Britian’s “shadow government” is. It’s the 99% of the federal government (FBI, CIA, VA, SSA are just a few examples) that are not elected or appointed and continue regardless of who just got elected as President, think tanks, lobbyists, much of the military, etc.
“The Deep State” writes 1000-plus-page bills that may sit on shelves for years before being magically presented at a moment’s notice (Obamacare, TARP), where the blizzard of non-Congressional regulations are formulated, lobbied for, and implemented, where the policies and procedures for militarizing the police are hatched and nurtured, etc.
The Steele affair and the British deep state
What did Whitehall know and when did it know it...?
Suberb answer. Unfortunately.
I am not certain Trump is aware of how the Deep State thrives, I hope he finds out and decides against it.
Don't forget the ARROGANT NAZI BASTARDS that were allowed to infiltrate our country, society and government post WWII. They still believe in the Master Race bulls@#%, and are on the move.
Trump doesn' scare the Deep Staters, they figure he's temporary and they can always just regroup in the future.
