You never hear Democrats talking about the "Deep State." It is always Republicans. I was thinking about how odd that is given the political history of our country the last 40 years.
Facts:
Republicans have controlled both the Presidency and Congress 8 years, Democrats 4.
We have had Republican Presidents for 24 years compared to 16 years of Democratic Presidents.
Republicans have controlled both houses of Congress 18 years compared to 10 years by Democrats.
Republican Presidents have worked with 1 house of Congress controlled by Republicans 6 years. Democratic Presidents have worked with 1 house of Congress controlled by Democrats 4 years .
By every measure Republicans have dominated government for the last 40 years. It seems if a deep state exists I have to conclude they have either created it or have been incompetent to deal with it.
Here is a link to an earlier blog that speculated about why Republicans speak ominously of the "deep state" so often.
