I suspect we have some "deep staters" in attendance. Everything you know, you don't. Everything you believe is false. A liberal conspiracy exists and it's hiding in plain sight.

If you ignore these "throw the baby out with the bathwater" comments, some good discussion is being had.

...and it's the others who believe in conspiracy theories? The "deep staters" you call them?

I didn't invent it.

I discovered it on July 4 when people I passingly know on FB took a pledge to QAnon. Looking up QAnon brought me to the Deep State conspiracy belief.

One characteristic of it is a deep distrust of "the media".
