re: Easily predicted, the Deep State strikes back when Trump is winning

It's a term for a state within a state. It was originally ascribed to countries like Egypt, Turkey and Pakistan, where the military and/or intelligence services are essentially an independent and unaccountable branch of government.

The Deep State in the United States would be the big Wall Street financiers, the intelligence community, defense contractors and the mainstream media, who all have a singular drive to keep America at war and the surveillance and the spying apparati thriving, all while having zero accountability to the government or its citizens.
