The paranoid style in American politics




An anti-Trump T-shirt with the text "Donald Trump: Make Russia Great Again" prompted me to write this...

Both Dems and Reps have collaborated with Russia, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and, cough cough, Israel, so no, I really don't see your point. The Muslim Brotherhood was high on Obama's list of priorities in both Egypt and Syria.

No evidence for Russian “hacking” of the US elections has been unearthed, except paid ads on Facebook (LOL). Sorry, Paul Manafort's deals with Yanukovich have nothing to do with Trump's elections and the Michael Flynn kidnapping story is less credible than Trump's former birtherism. And no, Turkey isn't Russia. (See map for easy reference.) As for Wikileaks being a Russian spy operation, well, tell that to Donna Brazile! But sure, a lot of election fraud has been exposed, for instance in Detroit (dominated by guess which party)?

Let's face it: Muh Russians is a *conspiracy theory*, the only one liberals are allowed to believe in.
Richard Hofstadter, come back, all is forgiven…
