Now We Know: The Deep State Is Just As Banal And Wretched As The Public State

Deep State is as big a failure as the public government.  No super powers.  No big ideas hidden behind the incompetence of the bureaucracy.  No secret armies ready to take over the government and impose its will.  No clandestine mandate to stop Trump from starting a nuclear war.  No, the Deep State is simply another facet of the military-industrial complex, driving the needs and desires of the exceptional American Empire.  Pro tip: George Mason is a right-wing cesspool.  Nice hat, asshole.
