Please. If you don't think there's a political/bureaucratic/judicial/media establishment committed to resisting all things Trump at all costs, you are simply not acknowledging the obvious and open facts.
Well, first of all, not *all* costs. As the Duffy scenario hasn't been played out.
And secondly, I don't see it as *special*. There have been embedded rival ideologies in government since Day 1. Federalists vs. anti-Federalists. When the "elites" of the time were king-making Washington as the first President, Washington nearly walked away because he new he would have to deal with the anti-Federalists "their precious sovereignties." (his words)
If you read Woodward's books on the Bush's presidency (Dubya) there's a really good chapter on how the Dubya Whitehouse and the DoD was really afraid that a President Obama might end the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, so the spent the last year of Dubya's term engineering a situation to make it political suicide for Obama to attempt to do that. And that included the help of some uniformed military, who, of course, should not engage in such political activity. "Deep state."
It's politics. It's hard. T o get large groups of people to all embrace the same ideas. But this back-of-hand-to-forehead special victimhood of the political right as poor, poor victims of "elites" and "politicians" is a bit much for me. Grow up. Do your job.
