How The “Deep State“ Is Affecting the 2024 Election (w/ Aaron Good)

Political scientist Aaron Good joins Bad Faith to discuss the deep state and his book: “American Exception: Hegemony and the Tripartite State,” in which he examines the state, elite criminality, and US hegemony. What is the “deep state,“ how has that term been misappropriated by the right, and how is the power of the deep state being reflected in the 2024 election -- both with respect to the choice of Democratic candidate and her policy priorities? Also, can the deep state be beat, and if not, is it time to just say screw it and get an MFA for health insurance and a little structure while we work on our novels?
