Thanks.

I keep refining my theory as new info becomes known to me. During the early stages of this operation, there were just so many pieces that did not make any sense.

One of the first things that didn’t make sense to me was the absolute hysteria and anger over Trump’s election. Think about that. Yes, we know the left is nuts, hysterical, and angry. But the absolute meltdown levels of behavior we saw were unprecedented. AFAIK, no one rioted when Bush was elected, despite the protests over hanging chads and recounts. AFAIK, the newsreaders in 2000 were not crying on tv, or screaming with rage. So I started trying to figure out why the over-the-top reactions.

My explanation is that those at the bottom are easily led. But those at the top are in fear for their lives. They are guilty of capital crimes and they fear exposure, arrest, conviction, and possibly the death penalty. When you fear for your life, your behavior becomes extreme.

Knowing there is a Deep State explains a lot of what looks like irrationality on the part of never-Trumpers who are supposedly conservatives. Not all, but some are most likely DS and guilty of crimes.

Similarly for trying to explain the actions of Trump and everyone around him, both pro-Trump and anti-Trump. The more you know, the more things fall into place and make sense.

It’s analytical thinking. Sad to say that most schools in the country have switched to rote leaning in order to “pass the tests”. Few teach methods of connecting dots and reaching conclusions.
Sometimes when dots are connected wrong materials are now purposely presented to squew the outcome. (Usually by the media. )
You’ve done a good job of connecting dots which keeps your results in the running of possibility
And you still leave the door open for other outcomes or new dots. That makes:

Good analysis A+
Wish all had that capacity!

Good argument and the way you have organized your theory. Thanks for sharing.

“Knowing there is a Deep State explains a lot of what looks like irrationality on the part of never-Trumpers who are supposedly conservatives. Not all, but some are most likely DS and guilty of crimes.”

Some are not Deep State, but merely leveraged. If you can remove the leverage, you can free them. I would think that a large percentage of them can be saved.
