I mean, he is. Non-ironically.

The closest (real) thing to this "deep-state" boogeyman of theirs is the Federalist Society, and the people who drew up Project 2025.

These are real organizations that conspire to circumvent the checks and balances that are supposed to protect the rights of the people in this nation, and the rule of law.

And while I don't believe that Trump is at all involved in organizing these conspiracies, he has been more than happy to execute their wishes in exchange for power. And knowingly so.

So yes, Trump is part of the deep state. Factually.

[-] Veneroso@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

If he isn't, project 2025 certainly intends to make him it. The 2025 founder literally said that they're asking "what would Donald do if he ran this agency" in the undercover interview....

I think this is a stopped clock situation.

[-] profdc9@lemmy.world 99 points 1 month ago

Trump's "dementia" is really caused by a CIA 5G microchip implanted in his brain. During the attempted assassination, the second shooter in the grassy knoll fired a microchip implant gun that penetrated the wound left by the first shot, thus providing the perfect cover. Now Trump's thoughts are controlled by sympathetic bioresonant microwave thetan energy waves captured by the microchip from dark stealth satellites.

What a glorious stream of word-diarrhoea, I love it

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

That was fanrastic

I love it that reich-wing lunatics are now eating their own. They suddenly think Andrew Tate is trans, ditto for that one cockwomble who shot protestors (Kyle something?), and now even Trump is a deep state operative.

Keep it up, conservatives. Maybe murder each other and not us LGBT+ folks for a change?

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Wow very convenient that everyone they don't like is a member of a group they are bigoted against. Otherwise they might need to self-reflect or something.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 66 points 1 month ago

Back in 2016 he claimed he was so rich he'd finance the campaign out of his own pocket.

That was five minutes before he started gobbling up donations.

[-] Blackout@fedia.io 35 points 1 month ago

When they also realize Democrats are making America great again their tiny little brains will explode.

“Now it feels like, I don’t know, like they’ve kind of—I don’t wanna say buck-broken him, but there’s definitely a lot of consultants around,” Owens continued, using a term referring to physically punishing or sexually assaulting a male slave in front of other slaves to humiliate him.

wtf. What an awful, and completely stupid, comparison. And who the hell uses this term in conversation as if it's normal?

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Well, he's got a list:

Bigot: Closeted Homosexual.
"They've buck-broken him" - I literally never heard this until now, which means he's also a closeted gay sub. Not bottom, a sub.
Putting the whole picture together? This guy watches gay humiliation bdsm and is so ashamed of it his bigotry has come full bounds where of he sees it happening in contexts outside of sex it reminds him of his shame.

While this is a nice pet theory, Candace Owens is a woman, so not really sure that being a gay man really checks out here unless Candace is also secretly trans. She is also black so the use of slavery vocabulary could be some weird race-based self-hatred or something.

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Candace is also a fan of Hitler for "the economics," so that's just who she is as a person.

[-] Samvega@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

Candace is also a fan of Hitler for "the economics"

Right wing politics is always so hell-bent on lionising failed economic systems.

This is not out of the norm for right wing blather. Cucking is the most used sexual humiliation term they throw around. However they use terms they feel attack masculinity all the time. Terms for sexual humiliation, terms used towards slaves that aren't just the N word, and more than I feel like typing out, all surrounding subjugation, particularly with a sexual bent. Humiliation, at least perceived, towards their masculinity, sexuality, sexual prowess, to them, are some of the worst things they can possibly conceive happening. So you see a lot of this shit in their safe spaces.

[-] Veneroso@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I suspect that the Venn Diagram of right wing porn enjoyers and people who like black men on white women/cuckold porn is a circle.....

[-] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

wouldn't be a bit surprised if most right wing, public figures, have a search history heavy on cucking, trans women, gay porn, and interracial

Maybe Trumps weirdness comes from his Deep State ties!

[-] BlucifersVeinyAnus@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

Nah, it comes from his weirdly long red ties

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

It comes from not being hugged as a child.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

Two things going on here:

They're eating their own and their purity tests are getting too far over the top to get votes.

They see the writing on the wall. Trump's going to lose and the rats are abandoning ship. "He's just not the same guy!"

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 10 points 1 month ago

He's their only guy, though. No one else can pull off the shit Trump gets away with. It's his cult of personality, and when he's gone their party will be left with nothing but ash and cinders.

[-] krashmo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

We aren't gonna need porn anymore if you keep talking to me like that.

Edit: I thought I was in the thread about the Project 2025 guy explaining how age verification laws are going to be used to shut down porn sites. I stand by the joke but it's more confusing than funny without that context.

[-] luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

Oh I definitely agree even in this context. Watching the Neonazis implode and vanish would be wanking material for the rest of my life: Lady Liberty pegging the Bigots.

It's the mental gymnastics convincing themselves that he totally wasn't this way earlier, they're obviously not stupid. They don't want him anymore, but it made sense back then

[-] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

I mean, considering his donors and political allies, was there ever a time that he wasn't a part of the deep state?

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

He's been part of the deep state of Russia since at least the '90s.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

Oh dude, he totally is! You shouldn’t vote for him as a result!

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Tate sounds more unhinged than Trump here

[-] Rakonat@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

How the turn tables.

[-] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 9 points 1 month ago

A deep state of confusion eyo!
