Ignorant, easily led Trump supporters believe he opposes the Deep State. Intelligent, well paid Trump supporters understand that his whole job, and by extension theirs, is to give the Deep State exactly what it wants at all times. To understand this one must understand the difference between what propagandists working the alt-Right crowd mean when they say "Deep State," and what academics who study political systems mean when they say "Deep State." The closer one looks, the smaller the similarity becomes - until it disappears completely. In contemporary propaganda, the term Deep State refers to an hereditary Conspiracy of evil individuals, well known to true believers who take every Conspiracy Theory with any paranoid and/or racist content as rock solid fact. Their version of the Deep State works tirelessly to destroy everything white working class conservative Christians consider right, good and holy. For full details of this version of the Deep State, enter 'illuminati new world order' in any search engine. In political science, the term Deep State refers to the army of career civil servants, appointed officials, and private contractors who conduct the government's actual business. Collectively, they have many shared interests and agendas; and without their advice, consent and cooperation, elected officials can not get anything done. This gives the government as a whole huge inertia, a tendency to "keep doing what it has always done" regardless of popular demand for change, or unwelcome policy directives from elected officials. Below: Four essays introducing and explaining various aspects of the real Deep State. Or in other words, the original Deep State concept our alt-Right propagandists borrowed their new, improved name for the Illuminati / New World Order Conspiracy from. ============================================ "There is the visible government situated around the Mall in Washington, and then there is another, more shadowy, more indefinable government that is not explained in Civics 101 or observable to tourists at the White House or the Capitol. The former is traditional Washington partisan politics: the tip of the iceberg that a public watching C-SPAN sees daily and which is theoretically controllable via elections. The subsurface part of the iceberg I shall call the Deep State, which operates according to its own compass heading regardless of who is formally in power." https://billmoyers.com/2014/02/21/anatomy-of-the-deep-state/ ============================================ "The Deep State is not just the military intelligence community, but also consists of transnational corporations, big business and Big Oil, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and think tanks. Groups and institutions in this structure form various coalitions that can compete, but tend to seek agreement on certain fundamental policies that benefit their mutual positions of power." https://medium.com/insurge-intelligence/republican-insider-trump-is-creating... ============================================ “Trump’s not Sir Galahad against the evil Deep State. Of course, they completely ignore the fact that, one, he’s a product of it – that whole New York high finance world is one adjunct of the Deep State. Second, Trump showed it to us with his cabinet picks for the economy. And third, he is advocating a 10 percent increase in military spending. How could this guy be opposed to the Deep State?” https://medium.com/insurge-intelligence/republican-insider-trump-is-creating... ============================================ "The United States has, in short, moved beyond a mere imperial presidency to a bifurcated system — a structure of double government — in which even the President now exercises little substantive control over the overall direction of U.S. national security policy. Whereas Britain’s dual institutions evolved towards a concealed republic, America’s have evolved in the opposite direction, toward greater centralization, less accountability, and emergent autocracy."
