What Trump’s war on the ‘Deep State’ could mean: ‘An army of suck-ups’
satanmat, The crossover point where Trump needs sycophants and doesn’t care about the ends
And the republicans desire to destroy government so corporations can run everything
Golly what a hellscape of a future

The Kakistocracy
VubDapple, A Snowcrash future
satanmat, I’ve been meaning to read that.
azimir, Stephenson’s works are usually quite good. Snowcrash is great. Cryptonomicon is phenomenal.
Evilcoleslaw, That’s how all fascist systems operate. Moronic yes men by necessity hold the positions of power.
FlyingSquid, 
Some of them are moronic yes men. Some are crafty yes men who are using their power for their own ends by being a yes man.
orclev, Despite what he said Trump never had a war against the deep state, rather he was always on a quest to establish the deep state. One owing loyalty to himself. As is always the case with Republicans it was projection.
FlyingSquid, Intentional projection. “They do it too” is something they and their followers believe is a valid reason to do bad things.
ME5SENGER_24, Trump’s original “drain the swamp” goal was actually “drain the swamp so me and my buddies can move in”
The shit-apples never fall far from the shit-tree, Rand!
TheDeepState, The Deep State must live!
