To be part of the deep state is to be part of the losing side.
Why would anyone choose to be on the losing side?
As I just posted on another thread, the deep state (progressivism) is so weak that it must by necessity cheat and lie as often as possible.
If progressivism had any value, and if the deep state had any strength (as defined by one of their icons, Nietzsche), it would offer the freedom to be morally upright and speak the truth.
