And its precisely the deep state's invisibility, and entire lack of accountability that is so treacherous to the United States Constitution and to the lives of ordinary Americans. The deep state tyranny that has now descended upon the country is done so through control of main stream media and the constant feeding to the American public of deep state lies (the new Neo-McCarthyism for the last couple of years has been the most blatant and obvious) and now the ability of unaccountable mass surveillance and the ability to abrogate the fundamental rights of any American by simply labeling said American as a threat to the state. And we see an assault on journalism and the directed character assassination of anyone who dares attempt to defy deep state propaganda or desired goals.

Not sure how far this will go either. We see the latest push for even further tyrannical power by the deep state with the RESTRICT act. We also see the use of the now pretty corrupted American judicial system to stop a former American president from running again ... and even if Trump finally clears himself, the timing of the judicial attack on Trump just at the start of the next presidential race, will provide plenty of ammunition for Trump's competition, which could drag him down enough where he can no longer reasonably contend. We'll see. Will the teflon Don hold out, even when under judicial attack by the deep state? And will they use other means to take him out, like they did JFK?

It has been like that since the constitution was written. The design goal was to share the responsibility among voters while keeping the power in the hands of those who wrote it: rich white slave owners and industrialists.

The US has never been a democracy in the sense of a government of the people for the people, it was always an oligarchy.
