The "Deep State" sounds spooky. Like some wild conspiracy theory you'd see on a pinboard with post it notes.

I don't think its all that crazy. You have thousands of career bureaucrats that remain from administration to administration. You have many 3 letter agencies with career people. They all have their own agendas and fiefdoms. Sometimes there are rivalries between departments and agencies. Then you have all of the wealthy elites that own companies. They know how to work the system. Many have deep ties to these agencies that supposedly regulate them. Many of these companies literally have inside men in these agencies and departments. This isn't theory. Its history and well documented by many people.

Even if you have a strong president that wants to make some change happen they can't just do it. They can make orders but there are many times in history when agencies and departments work against them. Presidents have been lied to and deceived over the years. It is an absolute mess.

Now, if you are telling me we have an old man that can barely give a speech that "runs the country". I'm not going to consider you a serious person. You man think I'm a crackpot. I don't care. I know what I know. I know the research I've done over the years. I have a memory and a brain I use. We have a population of numskulls that just believe whatever those with a platform say. But maybe that is changing. Maybe people are wising up? I will believe it when I see it.
