For years many of those opposing RussiaGate were posting the left was pursuing a socialist / marxist agenda and calling out liberals, progressives and the Democratic Party as fellow travelers of Communism.
Now the same posters are defending Putin, attacking Mueller and in denial that Trump benefited, if not colluded, with Putin's agenda to attack HRC to Trump' benefit.
This is perplexing. Why is this switch in play by so many of you? Have you considered you have been recruited, and are now a recruiter?
One more thing, the Deep State Meme has never been defined. It is a conspiracy theory, but lacks the substance to even be called a theory.
1. For one limited example, the defense of Antifa by so many of the more "mainstream" democrats, show that we were right all along.
2. We don't believe that Trump colluded with Putin. So we deny it. Indeed, it is not clear that Trump benefited from Putin's alleged meddling.
3. The Deep State:
Deep state in the United States - Wikipedia
"
United States the term "
deep state" is used within political science to describe influential decision-making bodies believed to be within government who are relatively permanent and whose policies and long-term plans are unaffected by changing administrations. The term is often used in a critical sense,
vis-Ã -vis, the general electorate to refer to the lack of influence popular democracy has on these institutions and the decisions they make as a
shadow government...."
"While definitions vary, the term gained popularity among various groups, primarily supporters of
Donald Trump,
Bernie Sanders, and
conspiracy theorists, during the
2016 U.S. presidential election, in opposition to establishment
Republican and
Democratic candidates. Since Trump's inauguration, the term has been used by some commentators, who argue that a "deep state" is aiming to delegitimize the Trump presidency and thwart its policy goals"
"President Donald Trump supporters use the term to refer to allegations that intelligence officers and
executive branch officials guide policy through
leaking or other internal means.
[21][11] According to a July 2017 report by the
United States Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, "the Trump administration was being hit by national security leaks 'on a nearly daily basis' and at a far higher rate than its predecessors encountered".
"According to a poll of Americans in April 2017, about half (48%) thought there was a "deep state", "meaning military, intelligence and government officials who try to secretly manipulate government." Of those who thought that, more than half (58%) said it was a major problem (net of 28% surveyed).
[31][32]
A March 2018 poll found most respondents (63%) were unfamiliar with the term "deep state", but a majority believe that a deep state likely exists in the United States when described as "a group of unelected government and military officials who secretly manipulate or direct national policy". Three-fourths (74%) of the respondents say that they believe this type of group definitely (27%) or probably (47%) exists in the federal government."
