Now that it looks like the Russians stole the election what does the majority from whom it was stolen from do?

If I have to respect Trump because he is the president do I have to respect Vladimir Putin for selecting him and if I respect Putin aren't I making a kind of a pledge of allegiance to a hostile power?


And wouldn't that make me a traitor?

If the situation were reversed, DT would be screaming from the top of Trump Tower like King Kong. If it can happen to us, surely the GOP knows another hostile nation could pull the same trick.
