  2.  @miskatonicalumni5612  : Are you LARPing? LOL! You DO hit the talking points that a CIA proxy would hit! I think you're spot on! :o) As for me, I don't know that there's a Deep State, per se, but I do know a little something about power and corruption, so it's only natural that people who are corrupt and in power or seeking power, would "work together" in pretty natural ways, just to feather their own nests. I'm not saying this very well, but for a nice entertaining take on Closet Aristocrats, Frank Herbert's DUNE Series. I think the saga climaxes in the 7th book, Sandworms of Dune, but the social commentaries in God Emperor in the form of the socio-political musings of Leto II, who had the memories of all his ancestors and lived for over 4,000 years. Oh, uh. Back to the present: That's what I think is going on, myself. People who despised Trump so much, that they'd go a little too far, and the next guy who also hated Trump would run with THAT and take it too far, spiraling into a bunch of mostly venal/petty abuses that grew into something quite big, because "everybody was doing it and everybody thought it was the right thing at the time." There was ta culture of entitlement, wrapped in arrogance, that permeated the Obama Administration. Bush II used Terror and WMDs to go to war and give the president unprecedented power and discretion, and set the NSA loose on everybody. But Bush II wasn't as crass about using those newly-authorized tools and methods against his political foes as Obama was. Bush II made it possible. Bush II dished him the ball Obama laid it in. Anyway, it was probably just a slow slide into a lazy and oblivious, privileged way of operating over time, with a relatively small number of psychopaths and sociopaths given far too much power and no conscience about using it. Weaponized IRS against the Tea Party Movement. Weaponized the security apparatus against an incoming Republican, who wasn't supposed to win. They were so used to winning. But too many people picked up on HOW they were winning and how they were governing after winning, and THAT was something they didn't account for. The same iron grip on the major networks was in place, as before, but the major networks are no longer that major!
