    What I object to is the false implication that the natsec bureaucracy is some sort of unified thing that thinks & acts with a single mind.https://twitter.com/CalFreiburger/status/1177318286934953984 …

    In other words, Dan concedes the existence of the Deep State; he just dislikes the name "Deep State" because reasons. https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1177305111430930434 …

        Ummm. "Deep State" does not imply unity. It does imply a large number of people in lower positions taking actions based on their political beliefs.

        “Deep State” comes from studies of Turkish politics, where an ideologically unified Kemalist officer class would work to undermine & sometimes overthrow politicians they considered overly Islamist. The term implies unity. People running around with differing agendas is just life.

        ^ yeah, this is the source of so much crazy. Once you've postulated a secret group of people and given them a *name*, as if they're a bunch of cells making up a single organism, you can start attributing all kinds of secret mental states to the "thing" you've named.

        Yes, but that general framework is necessary to support all of the ludicrous deep state conspiracy theories. Therefore, Trump and Trump supporters will continue to use that framework however demonstrably foolish it is.

        It certainly acts like it's unified against Republicans.

        Nobody is making such an allegation, though. It is possible to state that there is a group of bad actors in the natsec bureaucracy while not believing the entire natsec Bureaucracy in bad.

        'A single mind' might be a stretch but the bias of the bureaucracy in general can't be denied any more than media bias or academic bias on college campuses. There have always been whistles laying the CIA, and lots of reasons to blow them. Yet this is the first one to be blown.
