I keep seeing "deep state"—a concept from Turkey—used a lot in the US context. Like this article. It doesn't work.https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/16/world/americas/deep-state-leaks-trump.html …

atm I find comparing divergence between electoral and non-electoral institutions to be called a "deep state" a la Turkey kinda... offensive.

It doesn't explain the Turkey version at all, though. It misdescribes it. And the coup was totally different beast.https://twitter.com/ixochitl/status/832602322589065216 …

Doesn't the idea of deep state imply someone working against the gov't? This article describes paramilitaries supporting the gov't.
