> state's political leadership

The political leadership of the US is elected; by definition, any network of power which isn’t beholden to that is “deep state”.

[gunian → zmgsabst]

so lobby groups would be considered deep state? or rich people?

but how can something be deep state if it has existed since the inception of the aforementioned state. rich people have run the world since humans came into existence

is it like a on paper not in reality thing?
