Well, billionaires and oligarchs are the deep state and always have been. The GOP is just their puppet. DNC is as well, but they're less relevant nowadays.
Just recently, the new head of the DNC stated that they only want to take money from "good billionaires" and not "bad billionaires", and meanwhile the GOP (represented by Trump) just installed the richest man on Earth who's also a Nazi as essentially king of America so he can ignore being president and go golfing.
One is clearly better than the other, but that side is controlled oppositition bought by the billionaire class as well, which creates a ratchet effect where the range of "acceptable" political beliefs shifts further and further right, as we've seen since at least the 70s, but which really ramped up with Reagan and Bill Clinton's introduction of neoliberal idiology to the US.
