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.

Yeah the “Milwaukee Independent” DEMOCRAT LABOR union last gasp in the formerly great machine tool producing city. LABOR strangles the place, and hence it is where the neo-Socialists convene.

We can’t have MAGA bringing back industries they can’t control and strangle. No way. That would be like pre-WWII.
Dems wanting to control and own the process. Not gonna happen. Trump is strong in Milwaukee among those trying to revive business and industrial base of the place.

Here in CT the state legislature ordered tampons put in boy’s rooms in all public schools.

That was obviously Putin’s fault.

Lol.

Apparantly, Putin is responsible for Western Europe's destructive immigration and ethnic replacement policies. The man is super-human! Such powers!

The Independent must be the Milwaukee Beer Drinkers’ Favorite Fish Wrap. This isn’t news. It’s toilet paper with writing on it.

I posted this as a joke, but the MSM is really running with this story:

Russia’s 2024 election interference has already begun

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/investigations/russias-2024-election-interference-already-begun-rcna134204

It’s unbelievable they’re still beating this dead horse.
