    It’s wild to me how much of a boogeyman Russia has been made into in lib circles.

    There are probably a dozen or so countries who actively root for and foment political discontent in the US, but for some reason any American that falls into alignment with some loose formation of anti-democraric positions qualifies specifically as a Russian agent

    Libs do not realize just how xenophobic their own politics have become. Just because you think your fears are justified doesn’t mean they arent irrational

      It’s a convenient thought terminating cliche. It stops them from introspecting. After you are so fucking delighted to support genocide that you would rather lose to trump than stop, you don’t want to do any introspecting.

      Few countries had figures like Putin who played a long-game over decades to destabilize the US. The ones that do, we’re so into with oil deals, we don’t care if they did 9/11. I guess… now that I think about it, it is kind of weird.
