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 …

Look, if State Dept teams up with Tony Soprano to create a "terror" attack to blame the administration for.. That's deep state a la Turkey.

It helps defend this administration. "Deep state" sounds so deadly and alien to Americans that Trump looks safe in comparison.

Are we in the U.S. headed towards Turkey, or are we developing something that shouldn't be compared whatsoever?
