The letters e and r are next to each other on the keyboard so quick typing often leads to deep state showing up as derp state. So the term derp caught on as a short form for deep state. I love it as there’s something derogatory sounding about derp.

I believe “derp” was brought over from QResearch. It means deep state.

I could be wrong.
