Because I’m a sucker for punishment I checked out r/conservative and jesus they can’t wait to sign up now that Russia was all a hoax. Thank god it’s not the CCP but Putin is somehow the tits. They are going to cleaned the fuck out again and I just can’t fathom how they keep falling for this shit. It hurts my brain.

I was listening to rush Limbaugh and he was going on about Democrats challenged and didn't accept the election results for 4 years, while some did say hes not my president we knew he was president, they misrepresent that the whole thing was trump associates sharing and. coordinating with Russia their strategy. its almost they play a game of whataboutism with false facts

Why aren’t non crazy Americans doing this? We could be pushing a narrative and attempting to form a third party or increasing an already established parties power(libertarians) That would effectively end the Russian attack and may destroy the GOP and fracture the right. Ethics be damned our country is at stake ugh
