Its bad but Americans are too brain dead to see their country is slipping right through their fingers. The deep state and the MSM is downplaying it but illegally spying on a presidential candidate is a a wholesale undermining of the American election system. The Watergate burglars only attempted to do this but these people succeeded.
I agree with you about the lack of discernment by the masses of the American people. Stalin or Khrushchev may have understood the American people better than they do themselves.
