If you're a principled leftist, doesn't it bother you just a little bit that your side has suddenly swooned for the Deep State.......and defends it to the death?? I mean, your side has warned about the Deep State, and fought it tooth and nail, for over fifty years. Now, all of a sudden, you're BFFs.

(Preemptive strikes: "No we don't love it!"
"We were NEVER wary of it!"
"We're still opposed to it!"
etc. etc. etc.)


I mean, is there any one on the left who can think back a few years, and feels a bit discomfited by hopping into bed with people you used to consider the Enemy??

I never heard of the Deep State until a year or two ago. I still haven't heard a very good description of what it is supposed to be.

If the left loves the deep state then how come the right invented it? The paranoids keep paranoiaing.

That's because it's a fabrication of the right. There is no such thing. But the brain dead on the right will buy into anything, no matter how ridiculous, that fits their boogieman narrative. They're suckers that way.

I read your post and have no idea what you're talking about. I guess I'm not a "principled leftist" (whatever that is...).

I dunno, is there anyone on the right who feels a little slimy by hopping into bed with people you used to consider the enemy? (Russia)

It's the latest boogyman that the right wing radio prophets have thought of the lather up the unwashed masses.

True. I would say the same about the Neo-Nazis or the Klan, but they probably think that's just Uncle Clyde or Cousin Scooter and nothing to be ashamed of.
