I also love how they picked NASA and EPA to talk about. When people talk about deep state they don't mean NASA or EPA, they mean FBI, DHS, NSA, and CIA.
And DEA, ATF, INS, DOD, SoA (or whatever it's called now), FISA, West Point, Harvard, NED, RNC, DNC, etc, etc
SoA
Conservatives will pretend to hate the deep state but will immediately support the fascists trained at the SOA because MUH FREE HELICOPTER RIDES!!! The same fascists who formed cartels and pushing fent to the US lol. But of course they can’t connect the dots outside of “ATF IS SENDING GUNS TO DOWN SOUTH!!” - which is true, but they think it’s because the ATF is uniquely evil lol
The right wing used to be so obsessed with the ATF that I almost find it endearing when I run in to it now., Like, I completely understand that Ruby Ridge was a big deal, and operation Fast and Furious most likely led to thousands of deaths, but a couple of thousand deaths doesn't seem like a lot for the right to ignore.
I think it’s funny that conservatives will sometimes try hard to convince you they’re not batshit crazy white supremacists, but the watershed moments for gun rights are police abuse of power against white supremacists and religious cultists.
Talk about the MOVE bombings or the black panther assassinations, and they’ll either be completely oblivious or support those killings by the police.
And yeah the ATF memes in gun circles are so god damn corny. We get it, you can differentiate a magazine from a clip and now you think you can take on an army of killers with immunity with your Glock switch and Gucci AR-15 with a coat hanger. The difference between left leaning LARPers is that the left typically don’t turn around and support more funding and power for cops after posting about ambushing them.
DEA were snooping on people's communications before it was cool.
I mean Trump just calls them the deep state, they have been around for a while. Obama called them the blob for instance.
Eisenhower made the speech about the military industrial complex
I think the point was made on “Hell of Presidents” that the influence of the military-industrial complex grew with Ike’s knowledge and blessing, then, on his way out the door, he told the American people to watch out for it.
This video could have easily worked as a way to debunk "big gubment bad" and instead they went for the most clickbait and obtuse angle to approach this. The libs are not ok
This week the NYT stops by the home of hollywood power couple to talk about spirit cooking babies and eating them for vital life essence.
Featured: An interview with Gorgulat, Commander of the Reptoid Hegemony
There is a deep state, just not what Trump supporters imagine it to be. It’s not JUST Soros and the FBI lol. They’re just small pieces of the puzzle.
But it’s odd that liberals dismissed the entire idea considering Obama called it out during his presidency under the more ominous name, “the blob”
Six minute video at the paper of record. Will the NYT put in an offer at the TikTok auction?
Hate to be the guy defending the new york times, but this article is actually about the porno "Deep State"
