Donald Trump is obsessed with “the deep state.” We went on a road trip across the U.S. to find the people behind this scary-sounding entity. Turns out, they’re kind of awesome.

Democracy means that you vote for only regime-approved puppets and it doesn't matter who's elected because the government is an untouchable web of unelected power players who act completely independent of elected lawmakers and constitutional oversight

The deep state is in fact awesome and competent. I know a lot of them in my little neck of specialization.
Trump wants to replace the deep state with his own comically inept and corrupt version of the deep state. They literally have a published plan about how they're going to do this. For some reason chuds love this.

Fine, but I still reserve the right to complain about the ‘paper of record' using the phrase “actually kinda awesome.”

Right, I totally made it up and falsely attributed it to Trump. It has nothing to do with Trump, it's just organized and created by all his former advisors and think tank allies. But totally unrelated to Trump, Trump would never do anything like that he a good boy
