    I wonder what the US will do with their Russian shills after this trump nonsense is over. I mean, at some point you gotta recognize traitors that are trying to destroy your country by lying to everyone, or in the case of this turd, yell over everyone with their lies

      When this Trump nonsense is over, the US will become an autonomous region of Russia and there’s plenty of space in Siberia for those who disagree.

      At this rate, we’re headed for late stage Nazism… The US as even a poor example of a Republic may have ceased to exist on Nov 6th…

        Yes and… the 2016 DNC fuckup was when it escalated. But the momentum started with Reagan and nobody took their foot off the gas until Obama. Centrist dems definitely overcorrected and we ended up with Trump the first time.

          Reagan’s success was convincing the Democrats to under-correct and fully buy-into trickle-down neoliberalism for decades. That way, when people get fed up with it, a Republican gets to claim to be a third option against all those mainstream globalists who’s going to bring jobs back to America. The marks don’t recognize it was the Republican’s who started it in the first place.

            Absolutely this. Bill Clinton was Reagan lite and it wasn’t until Obama’s grass roots campaign that the centrist Democrats were challenged. Hillary thought she could do what Bill did and appeal to “moderate Republicans” and that backfired because she alienated the left of the party and Bernie picked up that thread and ran with it.
