In reply to the discussion: Is this thing on? Why are there no stories in the media about this? How Russians funded Trump.. [View all]War Horse
(931 posts)54. One problem is that so many don't know what to believe anymore
and it's compounded by that the fact that those who *do* believe they have all the answers are so secure in their beliefs that there's no getting through to them. And they are the ones who shout the loudest too.
One thing that gets me about right wingers is that they don't understand that this is a win-win for Putin, no matter what. If he can work with a Trump admin, it's great for him. If Trump takes the U.S. down the drain it's an even bigger win.
And another thing that gets me among so many on the Left is that they don't realize that this Putin fetishism on the Right in both the U.S. and parts of Europe has been going for a long time.
Add to that how we in the West treated Russia after the cold war, and you have an even bigger problem.
