Well said and a view I also share, " unelected power structures exist in America, and that they tend to form alliances and work together."
Council On Foreign Relations which created the CIA and was involved originally in Operation Mockingbird.
Skull and Bones and Cap and Gown as well as other elite sorority groups which has former presidents and financial heads like Goldman Sachs as previous members.
Groups like the Carlyle Group, Bohemian Club, and other elitists lobbyists that influence policies with their money.
All these people were NOT voted into a position of power by the American people yet have controlled U.S. domestic and foreign policy for years. Further, half of America doesn't even know they exists because speaking of them sparks a reference of conspiracy theory tinfoil hats and more CIA made up memes to discredit and usually ends up being trolled with illuminati lizard people.
But deeper than that groups formed based on politics like the 7th Floor Group at the Department Of State.
People who formerly knew each other from their political careers backhand deals in secret to protect each other.
Military Industrial Complex contractors and intelligence agencies that work hand in hand together. Sometimes against the American people planning falseflag attacks like Operation Northwoods and the planned attack to blame Russia during the cold-war.
All this forms America's deep state.
&while you're correct, our author couldn't resist a dig@infowars whom is the balance to consortium news(& "across" the "aisle" despite being pro indivuals,not pro party).
The discord we're seeing has been planned for some time. Note party arrested today re:Vegas, but memo tops coverage.
