The Deep State Speaks

I think we are beginning to get a good sense of who the ‘deep state’ is. 

After watching every episode of the X Files, I was convinced the deep state was the cigarette smoking man . . and that he was just the tip of a giant iceberg.   Then when I saw the Robert Redford movie, 3 Days of the Condor, I could identify exactly the people involved.  And, in the last few years, I thought The Shooter took care of the deep staters!  But, I was wrong.

After all the years of thinking about it,  I think I know who the deep state is. 

It is us. 

All of us who are rational and know the difficulties of managing a bureaucracy of this size . . but still want to make it work for as many people as possible.  It is those of us who still believe in the grand experiment of 1789 and are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to make it work.

And, we, the deep staters, who can recognize the difference between real conspiracies and corruption . . . we want Donald Trump to take his corrupt reality show out of our government.
