However, the thing I can't quite wrap my head around is how any 'progressive wing' of the Deep State could choose someone like Trump and his team. They may not be neocons in the 'historic' sense, but they [to me] have equally dangerous and damaging agendas - if keeping their fingers on a somewhat different scriptbook. I'm not rooting for any side of the Deep State. I'm rooting for finding a way to end it entirely before it ends all of us. I don't care to choose my poison - I don't want any, thanks. I can believe there has and I see signs of internecine warfare in the Deep State, but again, can't figure how they'd come up with a monster to battle a monster. The lesser of two monsters meme just doesn't make my day......and I remain totally unconvinced that the current 'team Trump' is a lesser evil at all. Different, yes. Less evil, no.
Peter, doesn't make my day either but one monster is gonna fix my body and the other monster won't.
Besides, there is no "rogue Deep State."
Smith labels Fascism progressive.
Trump is far more dangerous -- he's at war with rural poor folks as we speak. The people who elected him!
