[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5551864, member: 58386"] Yes I am and it would appear that you have no knowledge regarding how the term "Deep State" originated. Look this is your job to research matters such as this...not mine but it looks like I'm going to have to do it for you. There was once this dedicated Republican staffer. His name was Mike Lofgren He wasn't a Trumper, MAGA or Tea Partyer Just a dedicated public servant and traditional Republican. In 2016 he wrote a book entitled "Anatomy Of The Deep State". It is a book about the near impossibility of moving groundbreaking legislation and policy initiatives due to the deep entrenchment by both parties. A case of digging in deep and holding the party's political ground at all costs. This is real the deep state Mr. Lofgren was describing. Today he deeply resents efforts by members of his own party primarily MAGA's and Trumpers to take the term "Deep State" and use it to create an imaginary political Boogyman and shadow government and try to install it in the minds of impressionable people in an effort to convince them that they are the only ones who can save the nation from an imaginary threat they created. And so here lies the origins of the term "Deep State" and how it was used in a manner for which it's author never intended. [/QUOTE]
