“One “QAnon” theory that has been popularized by the president is the claim that the “criminal deep state” is operating behind the scenes of the government.”
That not a theory. It is a fact. The entire Rigged Russian which hunt involves senior officials from all over the government. The Hill knows that because they have one good reporter who reports on it. So how can they call it a theory?
And the term “Deep state” was around long before Q.
No, you don’t understand the basics.
The big question all along has been whether Q is part of Trump’s inner circle. Not whether the deep state exists.
