PROMOTING A CULTURE WAR: HOW PUTIN USED TRUMP TO SEIZE ALMOST TOTAL CONTROL OVER THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
Milwaukee Independent ^ | Mar 1, 2024 | Thom Hartmann

Posted on 03/01/2024 9:26:44 AM PST by packagingguy

Meanwhile, under Trump’s and Putin’s direction, Republicans in Congress are doing everything they can to damage the people of the United States.

They believe it will help them in the 2024 election if they can ruin the U.S. economy while convincing American voters that our system of government is so corrupt (“deep state”) that we should consider replacing democracy with an autocratic strongman form of government like Putin’s Russia. Tucker Carlson is even suggesting that Russia is a better place to live than the US.

They revel in pitting racial, religious, and gender groups against each other while embracing a form of fascism that pretends to be grounded in Christianity, all while welcoming Putin’s social media trolls who are promoting these divisions.

Republican-aligned think tanks are working on Project 2025, a naked attempt to consolidate power in the White House to support a strongman president who can override the will of the people, privatize Social Security and Medicare, shut down our public school system, fully criminalize abortion and homosexuality (Sam Alito called for something like that this week), and abandon our democratic allies in favor of a realignment with Russia, China, and North Korea.

Trump got us here by openly playing to the fears and prejudices of white people who are freaked out by the rapid post-1964 “browning” of America. Putin jumped in to help amplify the message a thousandfold with his social media trolls, who are posting thousands of times a day as you read these words.

Now that Putin largely controls the GOP, today’s question is how far Republicans are willing to go in their campaign to bring the USA to her knees on behalf of Putin and Trump.

The contingent on FR that back this last phase of the Forever War believe this crap too or at least they process to believe it. They are as bad as scumbags in the “Democratic” Party.

Oh, for Pete’s sake, did this guy read the Mueller report? Trump didn’t have anything to do with Putin. It was HILLARY. It was all Hillary, they were spying on the Trump campaign and the last months of his administration. They knew everything that was being said inside the offices of everyone in his administration. If anything communication between Trump and the Russians took place, Mueller would have disclosed it.

I am so tired of the left using this idiocy because Trump is forbidden to defend himself. They just make up lies and spew them.

“who are freaked out by the rapid post-1964 “browning” of America”

So we need to send a few million of the Brown Horde to Milwaukee to augment his racially vibrant paradise since he’s so open, loving and caring.

Just like the folks in Martha’s Vineyard.

The RATs need Putin. They would never win anything unless they had Putin as their boogyman.

They actually make Putin look good because they are so bad.
