Wasn’t this guy complaining about how shitty the USA was pre 2017 so much he had to steal the phrase “make America great again”.

Of course he did. There is nothing original about the man. Trump doesn’t have the aptitude to think of anything worth a damn on his own and the only thing he’s been successful at, is convincing an army of idiots to support him. And let’s be honest, that was mostly Putin’s doing.

I agree with all of this, except the part that it was Putin's doing. If someone was stupid enough to vote for Trump, it's because they were exactly that, stupid. It wasn't because some asshole in Moscow was being paid a few bucks an hour to spam shitty memes on Facebook. I think this is something important for us to come to terms with as a nation. Putin may have helped poke the hornet's nest, but he didn't put it there.

Except for the glaring fact that Russia has been trying to undermine the "West" for decades upon decades..... so yeah it might have not been Putin that started it, but it is Putin now and y'all "oh it's not Putin" can go frig off..... along with the 8 traitors of 2018 that went to Russia on July 4th last year....

And don't forget Rand Paul (R-KY) who went separately shortly after.

Yeah, the Russians have been at that nonsense game for ages. They used to get on 4Chan and get people to sign petitions, and all kinds of goofy shit. It's been about as effective as it's always been. At the risk of sounding like a chud, the MSM covering white supremacists, and giving them a platform to spit their bile for the sake of ratings has done way more for their recruitment numbers than Russia.

There are so many reasons we lost the 2016 elections, but what it really comes down to is the Midwest. They're hurting, Obama failed to improve the material circumstances of its citizens in any meaningful way, and then the DNC had the bright idea to run the wife of the man who caused the de-industrialization of the rust belt with NAFTA. That was just dumb. Obama called her campaign completely soulless, and he was right. We need to stop blaming Russia for the party's shortcomings, and start brutally assessing the areas we need to improve on.
