Deep State

The deep state is a group of powerful people who work behind the scenes in government. They tend to be people in high-level positions who have been in the government for a long time and their power comes from the fact that they know a lot about how the government works and have strong connections with other powerful people. They usually stay in their positions for long periods of time and don't have to worry about being elected or re-elected. They often work together to protect their own interests, and can influence the way things are done in the government.
