As a veteran political junkie and a constitutional conservative, I discounted the notion of a “deep state” for years. It was too “Tom Clancy” for my pragmatic brain. Then Donald Trump was elected in 2016.

I soon learned how wrong I’d been, as unelected bureaucrats, in concert with “crooked” — one of Trump’s favorite descriptors — Democrat lawmakers tried their damnedest to take Trump down. Trump’s crime? He beat them — “The Swamp,” as it were — and they would make him pay.

They’re still trying.

A new pro-Trump ad, created by “Team for Trump,” attacks — some would say “counterattacks” — the deep state head-on. Very well done, the ad plays off legendary radio host Paul Harvey’s 1965 “If I Were the Devil.”

“If I Was (Were) the Devil” (Emphasis, mine).

If I was the deep state, and I wanted to destroy America, I would rig the election with a puppet candidate, one that was so compromised that they would never say a word about it.
I would create a false flag that allows for mail in ballots.
I would be in charge of the ballot counting machines.
I would create a false flag to blame all who question the results of the election.

If I was the deep state, I would prosecute anyone that went against me.
I would sue and prosecute anyone that spoke up about the fraudulent election.
I would use my powers to shut down all your Internet businesses and bankrupt you.
If I was the deep state, I would make everyone an example why you should never question a Democrat ever winning an election.
I would imprison my foes.
I would use my corrupt DAs and blackmailed judges to destroy you.
I would make sure all crimes I ever committed never happened.
I would prosecute my biggest competition.
I would make sure they could never run for office ever again.

If I was the deep state, I would convince everyone that Ukraine Nazis were good and women are men.
If I was the deep state, I would own every politician that mattered.

If I was the deep state, I would push my pedophilia ambitions on you.
If I was the deep state, you’d question your sexual identity, but not the medical establishment.
If I was the deep state, you would fear to ever resist me.
If I was the deep state, you would wish I was really the devil.
If I was the deep state, I would say mission accomplished.

While the ad is heavily laden with Trump’s beliefs and devoid of proper proofreading, it includes well-founded concerns of tens of millions of Americans about the state of Joe Biden’s America — and where the leftists who handle the puppet president want to take the country in the future, which would be a chilling place indeed.

Yet, mind-numbingly low-information Democrat voters dutifully line up, election after election, year after year, and blindly vote Democrat without question. George Carlin summed it up perfectly: “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”

Here’s Paul Harvey’s original 1965 broadcast of “If I Were the Devil.”

Nearly 60 years later, how’d Mr. Harvey do? And if Biden wins in November, how will America do?
