    Why do all these pandering fascists assume the deep state is left-leaning? Dark money comes from conservatives who really only care about tax code.

      The pandering fascists know that the deep state is not left leaning. They lie because gullible fascists who are pandered to will believe nearly anything negative about their enemies.

      Fascists across the world attack institutions, because institutions enforce norms, and norms keep them from consolidating power. It’s one thing all fascist factions have in common.

      Because, by definition, the Deep State is opposed to them. Republicans wouldn’t call dark money that because they know where it comes from, and it helps them.
