I love the deep state

The American government with its deep experience values, and traditions.

That is what gives us these patriots who came forth to tell the truth about trump’s corruption

“Deep” is just another term like “elite” that republicans turn into derision.

I don’t want a shallow state. I don’t want second rate.

Give me elite and deep all the time

Deep State is code for those willing to hold criminals responsible.

They painted the left as elitist but then they sold out the country to the top 1%. They always accuse us of doing what they do.

They will install their own deep state. Bank on it.

Elitism is bad.

Saying “elite” lets them dismiss experts. He’s just an elite.

The conflation of terms is maybe the bedrock of their argument.
