Russia has changed / pivoted culturally somewhat like Dems and GOP and USA elites. Freedom is so passe now according to Dems.

So why is putin trying to get trump elected instead of dems?

If Russia cares greatly about the outcome of our election then so do many other countries in Europe, the Middle East, SE Asia....why the fascination with Russia?

How many of those other countries have successfully installed a puppet in the white house, encouraged hacking of our citizens and corporations, and waged a decades long information propaganda war against our most gullible citizens?

I don't know. I hear about China trying to infiltrate everything and everywhere here. Israel imposes their will and wants much more out in the open.

I don't know if anybody was ever "installed". It's called winning an election. Who did they fool into voting for Trump? Did it matter?

Who are these gullible citizens? lemme guess....anybody who didn't vote the way you wanted them to? is that roughly the tally?

The gullible citizens are obviously the ones who voted for the world's most obvious con man.

Who were brainwashed with 30 years of russian propaganda spewing out their AM radio and fox news, where democrats are evil demons, you can't trust anything you read or hear in the media, and immigrants are ruining the country.

Putin realized he couldnt defeat our military, but he could use our democracy and free speech against us to bring us down from the inside. He probably never dreamed the republican party would be so welcoming of his propaganda, but they've proven all they care about is gaining power at any cost so they can give more wealth to the mega rich.

"brainwashed with 30 years of russian propaganda spewing out their AM radio and fox news"

wow....

You're so far gone that reality seems implausible to you.

according to speak&corky, it's been going on for 30 years. Russia channeled Limbaugh and Hannity somehow. Not sure what Russia got out of that.

America is falling apart at the seams due to russia's puppet party. Under invested in the future so they could rain tax cuts on the rich, a generation of morons who think the earth really might be flat and donald trump is an innocent patriot. Decades behind the ball on climate change because of their big oil propaganda war. And now a party that doesn't even believe in democracy and openly praises putin, russia, and other authoritarian tyrants.

When the story of this era is written in retrospect, it will be about Putin's genius plan to destroy america from the inside, those that fell for his plan, and those who knew it but didn't care and chose to sell out their country for personal benefit.
