    I will never understand how people can blame the electorate for a cabal of russian-backed fascists seizing power after convincing 29.5% of US adults to vote for them.

      I grew up under Reagan. Can you imagine how I feel seeing the GOP kowtow to the fucking Russians?!

        It’s pretty wild right? All that talk for decades about Russia, the nuclear drills, all those movies we grew up with where the Russians were the bad guys and then bam complete 180. I suppose it wasn’t quite so sudden but still. Information warfare has really worked well for them.

        No, they are not. I was agreeing with your scoffing at the “this is what you voted for” attitude.
