      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

      During primaries, I thought if Bernie were nominee the deep state would sabotage his chances. Didn't expect they'd do the same for Clinton!

      Bannon's foreign policy agenda: aligning USA with right-wing populists like Le Pen & breaking old alliances. What does the Deep State think?

      5. There's this use, which reminds me that term has earlier pre-history in literature on Kennedy assassination:https://twitter.com/normative/status/838537544455360512 …

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

      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

          9. Trump's chaotic management style might work for family firm selling his brand but at odds with rules-governed bureaucracy.

          This recalls another term from the assassination-theorist community: Peter Dale Scott's "deep politics."

          Yes, when I first heard Deep State it called to mind Deep Politics.
