I am so disgusted with these Trumpskis! A new line of punditry is bubbling up among the presidents followers online: It was a positive thing that the Russians hacked the 2016 election.
Skimming #MAGA Twitter, its easy to see the outlines of the pro-Russian-meddling argument emerging: America interferes in other countries elections, so it cant be that bad; exposing Democrats hacked emails was a victory for transparency; keeping Clinton out of office was so urgent and important that it warranted some foreign intervention.
Of course, the dangers of celebrating foreign interference in the American democratic processregardless of which party benefitsshould be self-evident. But thats a slippery slope some Trump supporters dont seem afraid of tumbling down.

(63,658 posts)supporters do not know history at all. I guess they want to learn how to speak Russian and drink vodka to kill the pain of their miserable lives. Sickening.
They are for an Ex-KGB'er, seems like tRump doesn't give a shit either. But Mr Putin is someone not to be fooled around with, tRump was definitely taped at that summit, and Putin could throw him under the bus.
