Tulsi endorsed Trump, describes what has been called by many names, from Eisenhower to Trump.

First, she didn't call out the Senior Executive Service (SES) which is pure crony Deep State.
Second, she doesn't know that America's form of government is a Constitutional Republic.

I still have no use for her.

The Democrat Party politburo is making the decisions. It then hands them down to whichever stooge president the Party has maneuvered into the White House.

Iโ€™ve never cared for her. But sheโ€™s asked a correct question. She deserves sone credit for this.

Agreed. Tulsi was a member of Congress as recently as a few years ago, and a democrat to boot, so she knows damn well how things work in DC.

This mentality also aggravates me. They’re elected to represent their constituents, and remain within the boundaries established by our charter of government, the U.S. Constitution. I don’t want to elect someone to “lead the country”. I don’t want to elect someone who’s going to make empty promises to “fight for me” or provide me with provide gift or largess. I just want a government that will protect individual liberties, and leave me the hell alone.

As far as Iโ€™m concerned, former Democrats like Tulsi and Naomi Wolf are very welcome and very dangerous to their former Dem friends.

Reagan was once Democrat. Until midlife, my father claimed he never met a Republican. Then Reagan came along.

She had the courage to step out of the democrat party, when most others shut their mouth and go along with the anti-Trump, socialist program.

Gun grabber gabbard. Ughโ€ฆ. Unless she has had some major turn around, she is a gun grabber. Just the thought of her politicizing the shooting, just like the left, so she could take guns from law abiding citizens.
Of course it fits with the bumpstock ban trump signed for the left.

And therefore, her description of who is really running things is not valid? She nailed that.

The deep state is not a legitimate extension of a “constitutional republic”. It is an infection of said republic with permanent bureaucracy. Didn’t you read the part of the Declaration where Jefferson complaints that England had multiplied offices against its subjects in the colonies? Or the part in DeTocqueville where he expounds on the virtues of centralized authority but de-centralized administration?

What check or balance keeps the deep state in check? The President? He has eight years in office, and they are there for decades, an incestuous cabal no less pernicious than the Russian Nomenklatura. Congress? Bureaucrats promulgate their own “regulations,” which is a fancy way of saying they legislate. The courts? They depend on the deep state to enforce their rulings. The states? They each have their own deep states, and thanks to the 14th Amendment and a century of judicial rulings, also the federal deep state to contend with.

The Constitutional Republic is an old structure, and it has termites.

There’s a American Politburo - that ought to be painfully-obvious by now

Whatever else you can say about Tulsi, she has said it out loud, and kudos to her for that.

The Deep State doesn't respect political appointees and elected politicians because they are, in their mind, here today, gone tomorrow.

Ergo, the Deep State runs things. And the Deep State exerts significant control over the electoral system so as to elect politicians who support big government (i.e., Democrats).

Including many so called Republicans (aka "Severe Conservatives")

Eisenhower called the people behind the scenes the military industrial complex. Even earlier than Eisenhower's famous speech, Joseph Kennedy, father of John Kennedy, said that at most 50 men run America. In 1956, sociologist C. Wright Mills wrote a book, The Power Elite. A decade later, G. William Domhoff followed Wright's study with his book, Who Rules America. None of these men were "conspiracy theorists" in the sense that Gary Allen of None Dare Call It Conspiracy fame or Alex Jones were/are. Eisenhower and the others recognized that men with political and financial clout collude to run things behind the scenes, leaving a facade of a constitutional government and political democracy to fool the masses.

Since 1933, and especially after 1970, the character of that elite has shifted away from the Northeastern WASP descendants of the Puritans and Quakers and has adopted a Marxist ideology of the Gramscian/Frankfurt School variant. Since 1970, only two Presidents, Reagan and Trump, have been in conflict with their aims.
