The worst part about this article, these two know damn well it's bullshit.

"Deep State"
Before that, it was "New World Order"
"The Jews"
"The Illuminati"
And so on, nameless, faceless "secret groups trying to rule the world"

Hannity and Bannon know it's bullshit.
But they are making too much money pandering to the guys who are checking for ISIS/Jews/Deep State/whatever under their beds every night, with lots of guns within reach.

Sean Hannity And Steve Bannon Fear The Deep State Will Arrest Them For Supporting Trump

Fox News personality and radio host Sean Hannity told former White House strategist and Breitbart executive Steve Bannon that he thought that both of them “may end up in jail” for defending President Trump against a supposed “deep state” impeachment effort.
Last night Bannon hosted a special edition of “Breitbart News Tonight.” Hannity joined Bannon and Fox News political analyst Pat Goodell to discuss, among other things, the federal investigation into suspected Russian ties to Trump campaign officials during the 2016 election. It wasn’t long before the panel began to speculate about a secret plan orchestrated by “deep state” officials to remove Trump from the White House.

“I think they’re coming after Trump because they understand they have to destroy Trump, because to destroy Trump is not to destroy Trump, it’s to destroy this movement. They want to take that voice away from the forgotten man,” Bannon said.

1. They know they're in danger of being arrested for working for Putin.

Just trying to pre-emptively spin it.

2. The idea of interviewing Hannity for his insight

3. I wish they WOULD end up in jail

but not for supporting Trump. There must be something those two can legitimately be arrested for. They're too evil not to have done something illegal in a big way.

4. Put down the pipe, Bannon.

"I think they’re coming after Trump because they understand they have to destroy Trump, because to destroy Trump is not to destroy Trump, it’s to destroy this movement. They want to take that voice away from the forgotten man,” Bannon said.



I have rwnj cousins who believe in this deep state stuff. I haven't checked in on their conversations in a while, but last time they were chortling how Trump was playing Comey & the FBI for fools.

5. It's pretend!

They get a thrill from it.

Just like when you are very small and your sister and you hide under the table pretending that a lion or a tiger or a dragon or the boogeyman is going to come and attack you.

My cat pretends she is under attack all the time.

Maybe they will outgrow getting a thrill from pretending something scary. Time will tell.

But let's all remember that part of growing up is learning to discern real dangers like driving while drunk, speeding, crossing the street without looking at traffic, eating too much sugar, etc. (all the many really scary things in life) from those we just make up and pretend are real.

They just need to outgrow their need for pretend thrills.

Life is beautiful. Somehow that isn't enough for them. They want pretend threats.
