Deep State and Corrupt Politicians Amplify Divisive Causes for Profit and Power

Washington, D.C. – January 02, 2026

In the shadows of American politics, the so-called “Deep State”—entrenched bureaucrats and influential insiders—alongside corrupt politicians from both parties, have long amplified divisive liberal causes to generate revenue and fracture national unity. This tactic, far from novel, traces back to historical patterns of exploiting social rifts for financial gain through campaign donations, lobbying, and nonprofit funding.

Experts argue that by championing polarizing issues like identity politics and progressive reforms, these actors secure billions in contributions from wealthy donors and special interest groups. For instance, organizations tied to liberal agendas receive federal grants, funneled through agencies, while politicians rake in PAC money by stoking outrage. This divide-and-conquer strategy weakens public trust, as seen in rising political exhaustion among Americans who view the system as rigged.

Furthermore, policies placing immigrants and diverse groups into predominantly white communities are often cited as deliberate, aiming to alter demographics and spark cultural clashes. Critics claim this fuels electoral advantages and distracts from economic issues, perpetuating a cycle of corruption. As one report notes, such systemic graft erodes democracy, urging reforms to curb undue influence.- WAA
