A network of rich and powerful people influencing the state isn't "the deep state" it's "the state"
Like what makes anyone think they are hiding it?
Words I have heard in real life is that there are people we aren't powerful enough or wealthy enough to know about. Having a boogey man keeps the fear and powerlessness strong.
Thelose are just "other rich people" that have the good sense to stay out of the public eye.
