Trump Thread

[AE Bravo]

The hyperbole is reaching levels of insanity I didn't think were possible. There have been news anchors in the country likening Russia's alleged interference to terrorism. By the way, I use the term alleged with deliberate purpose. It is alleged as they have still not been brought to trial and proven to have committed the supposed crimes they are accused of. The majority of politicians are neocons and neoliberals committed to the idea of American hegemony abroad. Some are easy to pinpoint, such as McCain, while most are subtle. There are people who buck the Establishment line that you need to be at war with everybody at once. There are people who do not agree that you should reaffirm your hostile Cold War mentality toward Russia. These people are immediately dubbed Putin puppets, traitors, treasonous and all other manner of empty insults. The hypocrisy by the anti-Russian camp is also astounding. America has interfered in tons of elections. While it's true that two wrongs don't make a right, it's also true that most of the people harping about Russia the most are also the people who support election meddling or regime change. These people are not against interference in principle. They are only against the idea of any challenge to American supremacy.

No issue in recent history has ruthlessly enforced conformity and stopped other perspectives than Trump/Russia. If you depart from the consensus view you're ostracized and this mass hysteria is only getting worse.
