If we can do ANYTHING to protect lives, I'd start by overthrowing the government of China, then arresting key people from the US deep state, because they created the problem in the first place, just to disrupt Trump's 1st term in such a way there could not be a 2nd one, even stealing the elections.
How would you overthrow a nuclear power with intelligence agencies that rival our own? Sounds difficult.
There is no deep state. There is the state. Period. Deep state is a fictional construct to make people believe it can be fixed. It cannot. Its by design
Agreed. I don't think "elected" means good. By deep state I just mean "not visible".
you're missing my point I think. The deep state is a boogy man. It doesn't exist. Its made up to shift blame from those who deserve blame.
Who, for example?
Original post refers to mask+lockdown people. So I replied at the level of the average state-believer, which is IQ 80- .
Who? The entire government. That is the rogue criminal element. Not just some faceless bureaucrats.
I thought exactly like that for 50 years. Now I'm still a disbeliever in state, but also a single issue voter: I will always vote against the people of mandates.
I don't think it is a big deal, I still care about my own stuff and try to live without the state, do things for my community and educate others, but now I vote. It is at worst irrelevant.
If you vote, save that energy for local politics where change might be possible. DC cant and wont ever change.
