Days later seeing this, I just wanted to clear up a thing. > the former president who manufactured the charges you're repeating Trump complained that the "deep state" was thwarting his efforts. I don't think he manufactured that in the least, and I don't think him being frustrated by the rank and file of the government was a bad thing. > who specifically are these people? I think when you look at who the intelligence community is staffed by (high number of mormons for instance), life long diplomats and civil servants, I think you're looking at people who get a frustrating and thankless job for often lower pay than the corporate world, and they do so out of a sense of duty, out of a true belief in the trappings and history of the American experiment. I think you have a group who cares about democracy, who cares about the longevity of this nation. More than average anyway. Just because I think there is something we can refer to as the "deep state", something most definitely not FUD or nonsense, doesn't mean I agree with the cheeto. I think it did a damn good job trying to limit the damage that kleptocratic traitor could do in his 4 year term.
