The "deep state" today, during Obama's administration it was Muslims... the Muslim brotherhood, Saudi Arabia funding thousands of terrorist training camps all over the US, Muslims infiltrating groups, secret Muslims everywhere, seeing crescents in government logos, but there has been a change, I would say it's become more focused, more congealed.

Case in point, before the Muslims, it was the gays. A secret gay agenda, secret gay recruitment, gay syndicates, there was Bill O'Reilly talking about gay gangs stalking the streets, and more. It seems as though with the rise of fake and screaming material-less sites like Breitbart, this obsession has taken a dark turn.

The name and face of this archetype changes. Deep State - Muslims - Gays - FEMA camps - Satanists. But the idea of it being outside of them, that they are the "Us" and this group is the "Them", and they're a sinister cabal with foot soldiers and sympathizers everywhere and the very idea of knowing that this group, this cabal exists, is secret knowledge that the powers that secretly run the world don't want you to know about, it's like it's a pseudo-romantic notion to them.

This fake Breitbart media is making it even more easy to name and place hate on this archetype though.
