Нужно сказать, что Майк Лофгрен, автор книжки “The Deep State: The Fall of the Constitution and the Rise of a Shadow Governmen”, которая вышла в январе 2016 - не трампист ни разу.
Про реакцию трампистов на пандемию он писал без оглядки на Годвина:
I have written before about American conservatives’ authoritarianism, a trait that has starkly accelerated during Trump’s period of riotous misrule. This cultish instinct to blindly follow the direction of their leaders, and to conform their opinions to those of their own in-group, has become so strong that even in the face of disease it appears to have overridden even deep-rooted human aversion instincts, as well as their own habitual, hypertrophied sense of social fear. The transcendent power of authoritarianism over immature minds can explain otherwise baffling incidents in history. Why did members of the Charlemagne assault battalion, Frenchmen who had no rational stake in Nazism or Germany, die suicidally in the rubble of Berlin, perishing to defend a Führer who considered France the hereditary enemy of Germany? Why do Republicans seem to think they have to scoff at a global pandemic in order to “own the libs?” The GOP has not yet gone quite as far as the Charlemagne unit, but make no mistake: the core tenets of American conservatism in the age of Trump are genuinely crazy. If Republicans, goaded and cheered on by dangerous imbeciles like Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity, continue to maintain their grip of governmental power, the results will not be pretty. https://billmoyers.com/story/how-authoritarianism-short-circuits-the-lizard-brain/
Про эпидемию некомпетентности в администрации Трампа, плоды которой мы пожинаем сейчас, он писал ещё в 2017: “This glaring lack of qualifications for the job in question, something that would horrify the human resources department of any private company wishing to stay in business, has spread outward and downward through the federal agencies.“ https://billmoyers.com/story/republican-experts/
Трамп и его защитники переврали термин “deep state” подобно тому, как они переврали полезный до этого термин “fake news”.
