    Weird how republicans keep doing everything that America is supposed to stand against. Almost like they are actually an enemy that infiltrated America and are trying to destroy it from the inside.

      All this is too much. Trump needs to step down so the Republicans can nominate someone else at the convention.

        Why the fuck would they do that when they literally just made it legal for him to do whatever he wants

      Implying that they’re coming from the outside and aren’t home-grown conservatives

        The movement could’ve infiltrated from the outside and has co-opted the home-grown conservatives

          Yeah sure, you can tell yourself whatever you need to to keep believing that evil foreigners are the reason conservatives are like this

            Are you genuinely not familiar with the foreign money that goes into funding far-right movements in the West (and the US in particular)? Or the various international parties who stand to gain from having Trump elected?

              You’re moving the goal posts. How do those prove “conservatives have been co-opted by foreign agents” and not just that conservatives are happy to take funding from other shitty people? You seriously think conservatives wouldn’t be fascist-adjacent if Russia wasn’t paying them?

                No, I’m not moving the goalposts.

                Your position seems to fall under black-and-white thinking. Either they’re home-grown, OR they’re manipulated through external influences, but not both. I’m saying that both are true. If you also believe that both are true, then we’re in agreement and I don’t think we need to argue about anything.

            Foreign influence or not, they propose bad ideas and lie about everything to justify their bad ideas. Something that would irreparably damage a nation given enough time and they’ve had decades.

      That’s exactly why they are getting so much support from Russia and why Russia and China are fucking with us over social media/the internet. They can’t win a traditional war and America largely stands against their goals so the best way to take us down is by having us do it to ourselves. I think Republicans are just too power hungry to serve their greed and they’re too naive/heartless to consider what they could actually do to the country by taking advantage of the disruption other countries are causing.

      I actually really believe they’re going to succeed in “taking us down” and have already done severe damage to our “social fabric.” Hell we can claim without exaggerating that there are large portions of our population that are living in completely opposite versions of reality via the media they consume. Propaganda exists to serve a specific purpose.

      It’s more deflection, Republicans rail against what Democrats supposedly want to do, then in the long run they just do it themselves.
