The "deep state" is just a scapegoat for stuff people don’t like or understand. It’s a way to dodge real issues. There’s no secret conspiracy—just a lot of people doing their jobs in a messy system.
- _heimdall 2y agoThe "deep state" is also used to refer to the relatively small number of unelected people who make some of the most impactful decisions on society with no voter input. I don't know that I've ever actually heard someone talk about the "deep state" to refer to career bureaucrats just doing their jobs in large government orgs / a messy system.
