Chilling as this activity is, I have to wonder just how badly Trump and his stupid brain-dead accomplices underestimated the strength of democratic tradition. I remember how often these dumbshits railed against “the deep state.“ The deep state is the traditions and practices and procedures of the government agencies, and their agents and employees who opposed efforts to corrupt our democracy.
Trump kept appointing weak-minded saps to top positions in the govt, but this isn’t a corrupt country like Russia. The career officials that make up the vast bulk of a government agency have tremendous sway collectively. Only by gutting an institution, like the State Department, can an agency be sufficiently weakened to the point of ineffectiveness.
Of course I’m making these observations with 20/20 hindsight. While this attempt to turn our democracy into a fascist state was going down, I was as terrified as everyone else who had eyes to see, and who wasn’t on the side of the racist – sexists wanting a return to antebellum society.
