Is a "Deep State" a bad thing?

[wufwugy]

Just a thought: the fact that the deep state is coming under such heavy open attacks may serve as testimony to the fact that they haven't actually assumed the power their attackers claim they have.

I would say that would apply for some of the turbo conspiracies out there. A deep state that does things like leak against a sitting president because they think the president is changing foreign policy doctrine is one that probably wouldn't have the power to ward off incoming heavy attack from outside.

A deep state that does this also might be a good. Certainly it is hard to argue that it is a bad whose successful exorcism is worth the dismantling of the entire institution. The other team flops, you either find a way to take advantage of this, or your team starts to flop too, but you don't boycott games against them and demand they be ejected from the league.
