In trying to blame all protections for civility, morality, democracy and the rule of law on a mythical deep state, Trump, the GOP, and the billionaire right wing media moguls Murdoch and Musk and their ilk display their desire for unchecked power and their disdain for the structures that protected their undeserved success. I hope the deep state really exists, because those who bought that BS and elected Trump will be most harmed while at the same time they are driven farther into powerlessness and poverty while listening to the lies of Fox News and the ranting of Musk and the White House saying they have made America great again. God save the Deep State. It’s America’s hope for survival.
