The Real Deep State (Part 7/7)
How The Right-Wing Captured America
At the request of several readers, this article is part of a multi-part series exposing the real deep state—the corporate-theocratic machine that has quietly reshaped America for decades. Each part breaks down a different aspect of its power structure, revealing how it operates and how we can dismantle it. This is Part [7/7]

How Do We Fight Back?
I didn’t write this so you could go out and explain a 10,000-word essay to your conservative uncle. That strategy is dead.
We are beyond a world of nuance, lectures, and “well actually” facts. If explaining could fix this, it would have by now. If debating in good faith worked, we wouldn’t be here.
I wrote this so that you—the people who still believe in democracy—understand that a deep state DOES exist, but it’s not the one Fox News screams about.
It’s precisely the apparatus controlling Fox News.
The real unelected elite—their think tanks, their billionaires, their media empire—have spent decades rigging the system in their favor. The Trump cult isn’t fighting a deep state. They ARE the deep state’s foot soldiers.
And it’s time for us to weaponize that truth against them.
We Must Split the Cult from Its Masters
This is the attack vector.
The cult members themselves—the people radicalized by Fox, Sinclair, and social media—are not the deep state. They are its pawns.
They are lied to, manipulated, used, discarded, and told to suffer for the benefit of the real deep state.
Many of them are finding out the hard way.
Project 2025 is already here. Trump’s machine is gutting social programs, handing the economy over to billionaires, and leaving regular people to suffer.
They were promised prosperity, and instead, they are struggling while the elites get richer.
They were told Trump was “for the people,” but every policy is making their lives harder.
And who benefits? Not them.
The real deep state will feast while the cult suffers.
This is where we break them.
Attack the Deep State, Not the Pawns
Many of us hesitate to fight fire with fire for different reasons:
“I don’t want to sound like a conspiracy theorist.”
“I don’t want to sound like them.”
“We should ‘go high when they go low.’”
That’s nonsense. That mindset is how we got here. That’s why we keep losing ground while they steamroll democracy.
Here’s what we do instead:
Drive a wedge between the deep state and its followers.
Make the cult members feel used, conned, and discarded.
Force them to ask themselves if they want to be pawns of the deep state’s fascist machine.
How to Break Through the Echo Chamber
1. Frame Their Overlords as the Real Deep State
"Of course there’s a deep state—it’s run by the Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society, and billionaire elites."
"The real deep state put Trump in power, stacked the courts, and rigs elections for Republicans. They don’t care about any of the culture war issues, they just want you distracted by them so you will give them power."
"ALEC literally writes Republican laws in secret. That’s the deep state."
Turn their conspiracy theory against them. Force them to confront that they are being used by the people they think are saving them.
2. Expose How the Deep State Uses and Discards Them
"The deep state isn’t liberal elites—it’s billionaire Republicans stripping away your healthcare and job protections while telling you to be mad at drag queens."
"You think they want freedom? They want control. They don’t care about the flag or anything it represents, they just use the flag to play on your patriotism. Will you let them?"
"Project 2025 isn’t coming—it’s here. While they get richer off your struggles, they expect you to swallow their lies about who’s to blame."
Make them feel abandoned. When people feel betrayed, they start asking questions.
3. Force Them to Ask: Do They WANT to Be Pawns of Fascism?
" This ‘deep state’ is a machine for corporate and authoritarian power. Will you keep serving it, or will you stand up for real American values?"
"Fascists don’t care about America, they only care about power. Are you going to be their tool, or will you break free?"
" You don’t have to march under their banner. Walk away—remind them you can think for yourself."
We don’t call them fascists—we make them reject fascism themselves. Make them ask, “Wait—am I on the wrong side here?”
If You Believe in This Fight, Help Keep It Alive
There’s still more below, I just need a moment of your time.
The American Manifesto isn’t backed by corporations. There are no ads, no paywalls, no billionaires funding it.
It’s just one person, fighting like hell to expose the truth and give you the weapons to push back.
If you value this work—if you want this movement to keep growing, keep calling out fascism without fear, and keep fighting for the future we deserve—then I need your support.
Join the fight. Become a supporter. Every contribution keeps this mission alive.
Because silence is surrender. We do not surrender. We are #TheRelentless.
Stop Lies from Being Upgraded to the National Stage
The right-wing disinformation machine doesn’t just spread lies—it carefully nurtures and amplifies them, testing their effectiveness before pushing them to a national audience.
Many of the biggest right-wing conspiracies don’t start on Fox News—they begin with microbloggers on platforms like X (Twitter), Truth Social, and Telegram. These low-level propagandists test new narratives, gauge engagement, and see which lies resonate the most.
🔥 We must disrupt this cycle.
🔥 When a new conspiracy starts, attack it at the microblogger level before it can spread.
🔥 Expose how they are being played before the lie can be laundered.
🔥 DO NOT abandon these platforms—leaving them uncontested turns them into right-wing echo chambers.
We must stay, fight, and challenge disinformation at its source.
This Is a War for Reality Itself
The right-wing deep state isn’t just rigging elections or stacking courts—they are rewiring people’s perception of reality. They don’t need to win arguments—they just need enough people to believe in their version of events.
That’s what we’re up against.
And the only way to break through is to hammer them with the truth in ways they can’t ignore.
✔ No more lectures.
✔ No more “let’s agree to disagree.”
✔ No more giving them the benefit of the doubt.
They want this to be a one-sided war where they get to spread lies while we sit politely and correct them.
We have to stop playing by their rules.
So Here’s What You Do Right Now:
Use their language against them.
The deep state is real—and it’s controlling them.
Make them feel used and discarded.
Trump and his masters don’t care about them—they were useful idiots, and now they’re being discarded.
Make them question if they WANT to be pawns.
“Are you really on the side of freedom, or are you going to let yourself be another tool of fascist elites?”
Never let a lie stand unchallenged. Ever.
Do NOT abandon the battlefield.
Fight back on every platform. Do not let their propaganda go unchallenged.
We are losing our country.
The only question now is: are we going to fight for it?
Join the Fight, Amplify the Truth
Because silence is surrender. We never surrender. We are #TheRelentless.
This is the real deal. Others say march & donate. Protests are fine & slogans are fine; but until we realize that WE are the front line, these fascists won't take us seriously. It's a mistake Mussolini made, & they can make it too.
Thank you for giving this to us. I am sharing far and wide. Twitter is trying to make it harder to share from Substack but I am persistent.
