"The most sinister quality of the Deep State, Snowden says, is its ability to mask its very existence from the public, allowing it to undermine President Donald Trump while remaining largely hidden from scrutiny."

It can do a lot and it's pretty unaccountable and beyond public site. Any questioning of the official story on anything is a "conspiracy theory" and "crackpot." But if the public would focus on what can easily be seen, its effects, like the media lying incessantly, being everything they claim Donald Trump is and more, then that would check its power. But so many people have bought into the lie that they can be led around like sheep and just enjoy and worry about their own lives. The people of most other countries can have wars, poverty and dictatorships, but Americans are entitled to good.
