The statement 'The Deep State has spoken lol' in response to a CNN tweet about Rep. Adam Schiff calling on President Biden to drop out of the race constitutes public discourse. It engages with a public issue, namely the political dynamics within the Democratic Party and the broader implications for the presidential race. The tone is dismissive and sarcastic, suggesting a conspiracy theory ('Deep State') and trivializing the news with 'lol'.
