There’s been a whole lot of discussion about the “Deep State” in the last few months and years, and some of it has been from lefties laughing off the term as a “right-wing meme.” One of those people has been NY Times columnist and Nobel laureate economist Paul Krugman (whose predictions often miss the mark by wide margins). On the “Deep State” subject, WSJ’s James Taranto shared a Krugman shot & chaser that has left people scratching their heads:

The “Deep State” has gone from “right-wing meme” to this:
One side lesson from this inquiry is that the Deep State contains some really impressive, principled people. Which is why Trump hates it so much. https://t.co/5at4dcPBMN

And with that, people have thoughts:
The Deep State – which doesn't exist – is dreamy ? https://t.co/4vSqvE6uN9

So the Deep State isn’t a “right wing conspiracy theory?”
Thanks Krugman. https://t.co/6YIKFyJO8E

High praise for the Deep State (which, of course, does not exist). https://t.co/Mpp0e8Oc73

It’s all so confusing!
At this point in his career, he's an ongoing right-wing meme himself.

Right?
What happened, We were lectured for years there was no deep state?

There’s no deep state. That’s crazy.
Okay, there is a deep state but they’re nice.
Heaven help us.

You media guys really need to get your story straight because most of the time we're told that the Deep State doesn't exist. ? https://t.co/M6488ZKnPV

My god, the lack of self-awareness. A black hole lets out more light. https://t.co/cTPFPoVmNq

So, not only does the Deep State exist, but they're the good guys. Interesting admission from the establishment.
