Seriously, calling this US moment deep state is like referring to being a bit underpaid as slavery. It's offensive. https://twitter.com/dlepeska/status/832605846987235329 …

Yeah, catchy two-word phrases do well with Twitter threaders (I'm one!) but it feels wrong and offensive, honestly.https://twitter.com/jessespector/status/832606393593188353 …

It's being used in comparison to Turkey or Egypt; not a comparable situation. Like being underpaid isn't slavery.https://twitter.com/zrakMalogMeseca/status/832643578924969985 …

Geez, people. You have stepped up leaking. Which is worth thinking about. But not a deep state, or a "deep state coup". Stepped up leaking.

I already thought using "deep state" to mean stepped up leaking or non-electoral institutions was ridiculous but, hey, shark totally jumped.pic.twitter.com/bMBGOzlrTn

No doubt. It's almost like words are supposed to have meaning in a well functioning society.
