Moscow Mitch looked at the President Obama coalition of voters, the coming demographic shift of the country and the diminishing of racial and social animous among the younger generation and freaked the fuck out.
Remember the Retrumplican autopsy report the RNC prepared after their drubbing in 2008? Moscow Mitch doesn't. He looked at it and said; "meh, we're not going to do that".
The ONLY way the Retrumplicans were going to achieve their Ayn Randian dreams, where we have a country of few "owners and makers", and a permanent class of indentured servants to do their bidding, was to stoke racism, pack the courts with conservative wingnuts, and seek the help and funding of the closest example of Ayn Randian utopia... Russia.
Getting funding and political support from Russia was the ONLY way they were going to be able to hold onto power.
You didn't think they would take their own advice and work to become less fascist, did you?
They've created a multi-billion dollar network of media hate that would be worthless if they truly tried to be more inclusive. The owners of the Retrumplican Party couldn't and wouldn't allow that.
The Supreme Courts fucked up campaign finance decision opened the barn door, and they drove the horses out.
It's not surprising that the Retrumplicans have used Russian money to fund their operations. It's the ONLY way they could survive.
That's why this election is more important.
We're not just trying to save our Democracy. By the time the investigations of this corrupt Retrumplican RICO operation is done, I predict that 50 years from now, we'll still be tracking down Retrumplicans that have fled the country to bring them to justice.
That's what scares me about this election. If Retrumplicans lose, and lose big, there's a shit ton of Retrumplicans that are not just facing political irrelevance... they're facing prison.
