Jimmy Carter Brilliantly Explains How The Establishment Gave Us Trump

16. I agree. Russia was actively driving fissures between Dems and GOP was helping them.

They may have taken down this site (twice) and Donald Trump is complicit in colluding with Russia implementing their Active Measures here and in helping them meddle in our elections.

They have also (I believe) compromised Trump and likely a few others in his admin using various different means (kompromat or other manipulation).

Trump was elected by a lot of ignorant, gullible, and/or conscienceless people who were raised on ignorance and hate (racists, sexists) and who value therefore an authoritarian style of government like Russia's. There are becoming even more than before a terrorist regime here - our very own style of ISIS.

No one will stop them at federal or state levels. They are white males - the most privileged demographic in our society so they get away with things no one else can. They are Trump voters - or at least a Trump voter's best asset.

People keep blaming Sanders, Dems, Hillary. There are two problems with this: 1. It just isn't so. Hillary Clinton received almost 4 million more votes than did Trump and 2. This chronic divisiveness and constant fighting between the progressive/Sanders wing and moderate/Clinton wing of the party will DOOM US IN 2020. We simply CAN NOT be divided in that election and win.

People need to put the blame where it's due: Russia and the GOP. Not only should we put the blame for 2016 at their feet, we cannot AFFORD to keep dividing ourselves (Democrats) with circular-firing-squad style infighting about it.
