    Someone posted that all his actions make sense if you think he’s a Russian asset and the underlying purpose (even if he doesn’t know it) is to damage US global influence and control. He’s already doing an excellent job of this by alienating their closest allies.

      I’m opposed to this oversimplification, even if he’s a confirmed Russian asset we can’t just imagine that erasing Trump and Putin will solve everything.

      Fascism has reared its head and it wasn’t just due to Putin and Trump. Real systemic change is required in the politics and the economy of the United States.

      If they just go back to Bidening things up after Trump and assume everything is great there’s going to be a very rude awakening.

      We can’t keep iteratively adopting Fascism, technological advances and the interdependence of the global economy has already made it so this time might destroy us all. Next time definitely will.

      Oh it’s 100% the case. And even knowing it I’m still playing into Russian hands and now am against America. He has enough support that the average American is just as bad.
