Oddbean new post about login | logout 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
Correct! nostr:note1v7yvm36guwlywksym5c0y9lhe05td5f3f5n3w43v9ujf2p0kqcnqpzrkvl

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.
