I found the "deep state" in the book of Romans. Who is going to tell MAGA? [View all]

It has been hiding in plain sight. I even listened to a preacher who began quoting Romans 13 and conveniently stopped before Romans 13:6.

Their hate for the "deep state" is antithetical to what the Apostle Paul cautioned and counseled the early church about, esp. in the face of a maniacal Roman Emperor named Tr***, excuse me, Nero.

For all of their talk about morals and "principled stands" and their Project 2025 Schedule F plans, I would love to hear how they reconcile their deep state attacks and what Paul says in Romans 13. Just for fun.
