Obama is a side issue.
Trump is a threat to Globalism.
He is reversing the process in this country and waking up people around the world.
What we call the deep state is really just the local branch of a shadow world government.
Obama is just not very important at this point.
As much as it pains me to say, you’re probably right.
Thats right. Obama is only the latest chapter...the deep state got established back when FDR turned the executive branch into his own personal political machine. Roosevelt expanded the bureaucracy exponentially, and unashamedly saw it as a mechanism for delivering on his quid pro quo obligations and for enforcing political compliance.
The permanent bureaucracy was largely created to serve Democrat politicians, and was unfazed by Republican administrations, whose term limited elected officials and political appointees had little or no time to direct meaningful changes.
