Fact pattern is clear: Russians supported Trump. He won. He embraced Putin.
@GOP
now has a dominant pro-Putin faction led by
@TuckerCarlson
. In modern history of Western democracies, there has never been such a successful infiltration of a major party by a hostile foreign power.

To hold a national office. His ignorance may be appealing to fellow republicans but it’s deadly to our democracy.

Ohio has nearly 50k Ukrainian Americans, which could bite him in the butt. The primary in 2018 was won by a bit over 120k.

And the weak minded are the first to fall for it.

In a connected, global world, this sort of cultural intrusion is made possible by new technology. It works both ways, we also can share our values with everyone else. What is important is that media and technology remain democratic rather than controlled by money or political powers.

Because I wasn't a Ukrainian. Good Lord tells us to look after the least among us,
and the religious right says f@@k 'em, what a party of hypocrites.

They understand the deep racism of too many Americans and have brilliantly infiltrated, and manipulated our politics to the point where our government was nearly overthrown and fascism is still openly promoted by Republicans. It would be a mistake to ever underestimate the Russians ongoing efforts to destroy our democracy.

Maybe we should start referring to the GOP that way. Cuz that's who they serve and who they lean toward.
