Based on the classic analysis of Angelo Codevilla (look him up), its very unlikely that any person in government or who are serving or have served in its bureaucracies, or their more or less private sector appendages, is not “deep state”, with its class/caste and institutional loyalties. These people are their own tribe, and their interests arent yours.
I totally agree with you & pretty much all representatives at every level are to one degree or another bought off or are cowed by the money-for-votes process. I don’t disagree that there is a deep state. I know they exist. The thing I’m ridiculing is that folks pretend a political or judicial figure is on our side when they agree with us & then turn around when they’ve made a horrible political decision & say “well I always knew they were deep state”. There are active ideological deep-staters who keep control of the system (lifelong politicians, government workers, one-world philosophical globalist types multinational business conglomerates, international unions, corporatist free-traders, open-borders immigration advocates & military hawks who want us to police the world); those willing to aide deep-staters if it furthers their separate but similar political goals (left-wingers & liberal politicians, the press, Hollywood & corporate executives); those dependant on & controlled by deep-staters under the the current situation (many of the upper & upper-middle classes, the coastlines, all urban & some suburban areas & many of the dependent poor, lower classes); those that don’t pose problems for or ask questions of the deep-state (moderates, the unprincipled & those not willing to take a stand); those that just truly don’t care (the self-interested, self centered, faithless & generally nihilistic types); those that aren’t even aware of deep-state corruption (the blissfully ignorant, the non political types & those that think they are powerless to change things); & those that are shell-shocked, in denial & not capable of fighting the deep-state because they are afraid to find out how close to home the corruption gets (establishment conservatives, some free-marketeers, some military hawk types, those right-wing outlets with attachments to the establishment, half of conservative media & think tanks). I just think that those of us trying to oppose it don’t do ourselves a lot of good by pretending that everybody has the same motivation or come from an equivalent place. What I mean is: the guy thats afraid to see the corruption or is being bullied into submission or is just simply intellectually oblivious to the back-door dealings, elitist rigging & harmful policies of the political & socioeconomic establishment is not exactly the same thing as George Soros buying states attorneys general or the FBI/CIA helping to fix an election 🤷🏼😊
