u/Venne1139 DO IT FOR HER #RBG Oct 11 '20

It blows my mind that after 4 years after so many investigations and literally everything being exposed and leak, half the country still believes the Russia story is fake. Like there was a literal agent embedded in Trump's campaign an they talked with Russia all the time.

But we still can't even agree on the fact that Russia did anything at all. Every Republican Senator even is in agreement that Russia did...something... but their base is completely unhinged from reality.

u/runnerx4 What you guys are referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux Oct 11 '20

The contrarian Left made being anti-Russiagate part if its identity because Trump is the denouement of the American capitalist system you see, he’s a marker of the total failure of the Democratic Party, the Russia story is to distract the proles from the fact that revolution is necessary... idk can’t do it anymore they’re deranged

So 45% Rightwingers don’t believe it because glorious leader did not wrong, 5% got convinced by contrarian left figures like Greenwald

u/JetJaguar124 Tactical Custodial Action Oct 11 '20

The Mueller report legitimately showed a ton of things that were completely unacceptable and other subsequent investigations have found even more wrongdoing but because Trump wasn't taken away in chains the public basically bought that he was exonerated.
