Talk:Deep state

Lebanon's Hezbollah.
I don't think they are really a state within a state. They are too public. Officially a political party. The electoral system in Lebanon encourages organizations like Hezballah. They are really a so called Non State Actor.

Nonsensical (?) paragraph
The fourth paragraph of the "Scholarly understanding" section has no sources whatsoever, and is written in such convoluted language, I have a really hard time determining if there is any meaning or whether it is wholly nonsensical. Can someone please sort this out? Thanks! --95.89.78.72 (talk) 14:20, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

United States section
The highlighted quote describes the deep state as a conflict between leader and state bureaucracy. In this context, I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration by Miles Taylor seems relevant, where he claimed he and 'many current members of the administration deliberately undermine [Trump's] suggestions and orders for the good of the country' (quote from the Wikipedia article). I don't know how to phrase this, but this seems exactly what is described in the quote.--95.89.78.72 (talk) 14:30, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
