Well, I don't think the OP does.

I know! Let's have some fun - guess what tomorrow's right-wing conspiracy catch phrase will be!
are you making this point as some kind of attempt to suggest the right does this but the left doesn't?


LOL

By the way, "deep state" does have a meaning, and has been in use for a long time. Perhaps you should look it up.

You forgot "won't release his tax returns," "lied about Obama ordering wiretaps," "puts his daughter and in-law into cabinet positions they aren't qualified for" and "handles criticism like a four year-old girl."

OH yes - LOVE me some Saul Alinsky! It's the best. I read it as daily scripture before I touch myself.

No, it's not the same thing. "Deep state" has a meaning. They are entrenched government administration employees, generally loyal to one party (Democrats, for example) and will do anything to protect that party including leaking information that damages the opposing party, even if that leaking is damaging to the country.

So ...that must be what's wrong with Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi!

Good point. It is that kind of thing.

Confirmation bias, and as you say they repeat it to one another and reinforce their own flawed viewpoint. Something like a herd mentality, they move together.

This is very true. When Chuck Schumer says something, it get's repeated everywhere including on this forum. I have seen it over and over again, and it's usually repeated word for word. It's laughable.

"Nixonian," repeated everywhere, was the most recent (I'm not even sure if Schumer was the first to say it ...maybe it was Maxine Waters).
