      2. I think I first heard the phrase "Deep State" a couple of years ago in reference to forces in Egypt & Turkey resisting elected government

      6. After a while I came to be uneasy with term: too conspiratorial, and implied (wrongly) a monolithic, centralized state-within-state

          It seems like a paranoid reading of a perfectly reasonable concept: bureaucracy's role in ensuring continuity.

          Deep State = those who have institutional memory of the things elected officials and political appointees would rather forget.

          You'd be surprised at the amount of pushback I got on that Jacobin article. Some ideas are hard to let go of.

          7. Rather than a centralized Deep State, I think it's more accurate to talk about a factionalized permanent government.

          8. Trump was always likely to fight with factionalized permanent government, not just over ideology but because of his management style

          Deep states need money to get out from under elected gov't scrutiny. If Pres can fire and congress can axe, it can't be too deep.
