I had just finished reading a satirical article in the Babylon Bee when I switched to reading an article in The Atlantic. For a moment I thought I had stumbled on another satire, just a lot longer.
That I realized that this is the Deep State in all it's self -righteous paranoid glory. You can't parody this:
When Donald Trump came into office, there was a sense that he would be outmatched by the vast government he had just inherited.
The new president was impetuous, bottomlessly ignorant, almost chemically inattentive, while the bureaucrats were seasoned, shrewd, protective of themselves and their institutions. They knew where the levers of power lay and how to use them or prevent the president from doing so. Trump’s White House was chaotic and vicious, unlike anything in American history, but it didn’t really matter as long as “the adults” were there to wait out the president’s impulses and deflect his worst ideas and discreetly pocket destructive orders lying around on his desk.
After three years, the adults have all left the room—saying just about nothing on their way out to alert the country to the peril—while Trump is still there.
There follows the beatification of several Swamp Dwellers including Erica Newland and Andrew McCabe and vicious attacks on Trump, and Barr.
It's a scream of rage by the Left who thought they had a mandate from heaven to rule, only to find that all the levers and tools they had to destroy their opponents are ineffective. They are impotent and this is the verable version of this after realizing that Trump will be re-elected.
