      “Do you think that billionaires should pay their taxes like the rest of us?”

      MAGoos = “Hell, yes!!”

      “Do you think that we should fund the IRS so they can go after the big shots?”

      MAGoos = “You’re a Communist!!!”

      “deep state” is just an evolution of “fake news”. It’s nonsensical descriptor; it’s merely a term used to describe anyone you disagree with in an attempt to discredit them and their position.
