IRONY alert! Columnist for 'Democracy Dies in Darkness' paper: Only the Deep State can save America now

Remember when a many people laughed off claims of the existence of a “Deep State”? Now apparently it’s the only hope for saving America from the Trump presidency, according to Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson:

“The deep state stands between us and the abyss.” @Eugene_Robinson https://t.co/IUJtbfO8QO

2017 libs: "There's no deep state, you crazy conspiracy theory nuts!"

2018 libs: "Go team deep state!"

So, the "Deep State" that up until now was "a right-wing conspiracy theory" just became "the only thing standing between us and the abyss."
