towards becoming something similar to a Russian Oligarchy. A good chunk of the GOP has been infiltrated by these pigs who don't want Democracy and they are entering politics in huge numbers now. A lot of them already very wealthy. In Russia a handful of very powerful people control everything. That massive Palace Putin has on the Black Sea is I am sure where all these Oligarchs hang out. Why would someone like Tucker Carlson praise Russia? Because he is wealthy and wants to be part of the big, all powerful club. Hell, Fox News is all about this! Trump isn't shy about his desire for the US to turn into Russia and because of this we now have MOST Republicans thinking Russia is just dandy. If they get their way then they can do ethnic cleansing, get rid of all the homosexuals and have incredible power over everyone. The comment sections in Youtube videos are filled with Americans who want this now. They hate our Democracy that protects blacks, Hispanics, gays, etc. just like Putin does. https://www.polygraph.info/a/putin-discrimination-claim-false/30716970.html The GOP used to stand for Democracy and some in the GOP still do, but they seem to be losing power quickly. We have a real clear and present danger to our Democracy and Citizens United kind of opened the door for things to get worse. It won't be long before we have two parties. The Democratic pro Democracy Party and a GOP pushing for an outright Oligarchy. They are so corrupt, if they get much more power they will just take over one day and the great US will be a thing of the past.
