Don't listen to this shill. Deep state wasn't coined by Trumpists or Q's. It was popularized in the US by Trump, who purposely misdefined the term to associate it with Democrats.

Snowden, McAfee and Di Dongsheng have more accurate descriptions of the deep state.

While the deep state has negative connotations, theoretically speaking, neolibs believe that a deep state is necessary to ensure a leader can't just become a dictator and claim absolute power. A problem arises when the deep state is infiltrated by interest groups who dictate their own goals.

A deep state is a type of governance made up of potentially secret and unauthorised networks of power operating independently of a state's political leadership in pursuit of their own agenda and goals. In popular usage, the term carries overwhelmingly negative connotations. The range of possible uses of the term is similar to that for shadow government. The expression state within a state is an older and similar concept. Historically, it designated a well-defined organization which seeks to function independently, whereas the deep state refers more to a hidden organization seeking to manipulate the public state.
