The Deep State belief allows strident Trump supporters that ascribe to it to rationalize his flaws, short-comings, and ineptitude and will even allow them to consider him a martyr of sorts should he "fail".

CNN, Time, and the NYT are on the case!

I'm satisfied.

You didn't click the link did you? If you had, you would have seen there is no reference to "War Porn" in a dictionary, which brings us back to your knowledge being that of pop culture, urban slang, and other ignorant worthless things and mine being focused on that of literacy. This would explain your knowledge and understanding of the topics though, so carry on! /boggle

I'm in the mood to be entertained. If someone were to ask you for information about "Deep State", where would you refer them to?

The only question now, will it be somewhat peaceful, or will it be bloody as former AG Loretta Lynch is calling for?

Will the Globalist back down, or is it full on WAR?
Nah, Americans of today are far too soft and self centered to ever muster the resolve, strength, toughness and integrity required to physically battle for their beliefs. They could never coalesce to cause a civil war. They'd be too worried about being politically incorrect, or of daughter Kendall missing soccer practice. Mom might run out of Zoloft. Dad might not finish his fantasy league season. Austin might lose his video games.

Buncha pansies, really.

Can I just tell them it's a made-up propaganda term?

We don't need things to get physical to bring down tyranny.

Enough people just have to stop believing in the fictional entity known as the State.

It will collapse on its own.

I know you call yourself a philosopher but there is a pretty significant difference between being cryptic as a means of getting others to think and being cryptic to hide the fact that you don't have a point. And I can quite easily tell the difference.

The Deep State has replaced the New World Order. Before that Roswell. It's always something.
