"Francis was about reconciliation, which isn’t in the MAGA lexicon. 'The pandemic has reminded us that we are all in the same boat,' he had said as Covid-19 upended the world. His words were another red mark for MAGA stalwarts, who are selective about who they want in the boat."
Francis was hated just as fervently by a powerful cabal inside the Vatican working hand in hand with MAGA and super-rich right-wing US Catholics who want to buy the papacy in order to control it.
The anti-deep state MAGA crowd are joined at the hip with that Vatican deep-state cabal.
Dettmer concludes,
Jamie Dettmer comments on the irony of the hateful glee MAGA is showing at the death of Pope Francis — e.g., Bannon's sidekick Benjamin Harnwell declaring, “I’m very glad he’s dead":
"The irony is that MAGA leaders are now marching in lockstep with a deep state…."

"On 25 March 2023, Donald Trump told a campaign rally in Texas that the next presidential election would be a final battle with 'demonic forces'. Voters had a choice: 'The deep state destroys America, or we destroy the deep state.' Since Trump won the 2024 election, Elon Musk and his youthful minions have been given free rein to fire up their chainsaws and chase 'deep state' phantoms through the corridors of power, tearing down the real-life administrative state as they go. But whether the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) can defeat the demonic forces seems doubtful: on 24 February, Musk tweeted, 'The deep state is everywhere.' This is a way of thinking about government that owes more to The Matrix than it does to reasonable complaints about overreach, overspending or overly dominant orthodoxy.
So what are the roots of this strange, amorphous idea? What’s happening in Washington is extreme, but it’s not simply an aberration. The crusade against the deep state draws not only on Americans’ ever-increasing distrust of government but on enduring images of hidden, nefarious state power."

The by conservatives so called "#DeepState" in the #USA is apparently the #state itself.
Like, you know, bureaucracy, checks n balances, rule of law, that sort of stuff.
And that is now replaced by open #Corruption & #SelfEnrichment of a ruling "elite" in EVERY ASPECT OF SOCIETY.
Americans will look up to places like Somalia as lighthouses of righteousness.

Habe gestern in #Berlin erschrocken gesehen, wie massiv fossile Konzernmedien die Bildung einer neuen #Bundesregierung angreifen. Darunter #AxelSpringer - Medien, die bereits einen Wahlaufruf von #Musk für die #AfD druckten & #DeepState - Verschwörungsmythen sogar gegen die #Kirchen lancierten. Womit rechnest du? https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/ein-komposita-text-gegen-die-deep-state-verschwoerungsmythen-in-der-welt/

Nicht nur in den USA 
, auch in Südkorea 
eskalieren Fossilismus und Deep State - Verschwörungsmythen zu einer andauernden Verfassungskrise mit Gewalt und sogar Toten… 
Auch in Deutschland 
wurden sie durch die „WELT“ bis in den #Bundestag hinein verbreitet…

Im zerfallenden #Rechtsstaat der #USA errang der #Fossilismus einen schlimmen Zwischen-Sieg: Nach v.a. indigenen Protesten gegen eine Ölpipeline wurde die Mitwelt-NGO #Greenpeace zu mehreren Hundert Millionen Dollar „Strafe“ verurteilt.
Ist Europa sicher? Warne dringend vor dem #DeepState - Verschwörungsmythos, der auch deutsche Medien & Politik erreicht hat.

Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ️?
Habe für heute zu #Tübingen eine Rede geschrieben, die u.a. gegen den #DeepState - Verschwörungsmythos auch in der „WELT“ & der „Kleinen Anfrage“ im #Bundestag aufklärt. Thematisiere auch den neuen #Staatsvertrag für jüdisches Leben in BW, die mediale & politische Polarisierung des #BTW25, die fossile Finanzierung des modernen #Antisemitismus und die prägende Macht der #Medien. Mit #Wissenschaft gegen #Verschwörungsmythen !

Dass der #DeepState - Verschwörungsmythos aus den #USA von #QAnon & #MAGA zuletzt bis in deutsche Medien und den Bundestag vordrang, benenne ich als problematisch, ja dualistisch. Ist das für Dich nachvollziehbar?
Als 2012 die damalige BW-Integrationsministerin Bilkay #Öney von einem „tiefen Staat“ (türk. #derindevlet) in der Bundesrepublik #Deutschland sprach, wurde sie in der #WELT u.a. von der #CDU, #Polizei und MP #Kretschmann kritisiert. Nun ist der Begriff in US-amerikanischer Version als #DeepState-Verschwörungsmythos auch in bundesdeutschen #Medien & #Politik. Ich warne dringend vor diesem verschwörungsmythologischen #Dualismus! https://www.br.de/nachrichten/netzwelt/deep-state-wie-sich-der-mythos-ausbreitet-faktenfuchs,Ufht7iy
"the people who spent years warning us about an imaginary #DeepState have built an actual one. The people who claimed to fear unaccountable bureaucrats have installed literally unaccountable bureaucrats. The people who insisted they would drain the swamp have filled it with their own particularly toxic sludge.
Their accusations weren’t warnings — they were spoilers."

"DOGE is the #DeepState. Wired’s Brian Barrett made this crucial observation last week & I can’t get it out of my mind. For all the talk during the last decade of the supposed “deep state” of #unelected bureaucrats controlling the #government, which was never actually true, #DOGE has become the very deep state they falsely claimed existed previously."

Ukraine Daily summary - Saturday, March 8 2025

Verfassungsrechtlerin zur "Kleinen Anfrage" der Union:
"Es seien in Fragen verpackte Falschaussagen, "die die verschwörungsideologischen Falschbehauptungen nicht als Tatsachen aufstellen, aber über die Frageform doch sehr hartnäckig insinuieren", schreibt Schönberger".
