So the GOP works with the Russians to propagate propaganda against the American Way

Can we now all acknowledge that if you are a liberal or Democrat and in some cases progressive, you have to not just beat the GOP in an election or for ideas, but you have to compete with and beat Russia.


You see if you look closer, the Russians or Putin and the GOP have a great deal in common, including and especially who their enemies of this world are.

Who did Trump instantly target when he obtained power? Other than the environment, working people, etc?

Gays

Brown people

Muslims

Women


In Russia, where do you think these 4 categories of people are in the hierarchy?

Take a look at the coup in Brazil and how corporate media drove opinion and enabled the overthrow.

We are facing a global, corporatist, authoritarian political front opposing progressive democracy.

Hard-coded in their DNA.

These people pop up everywhere. In the USA, in Canada, in Russia, in the Netherlands, in France, in Germany, etc.

That's what makes Putin's work so easy. There's an established base ready to buy whatever he's selling, wherever he's selling it.
