I grew up in 70s, 80s, and 90s, and I watched how the USSR fell. I saw the Berlin wall tumble. I saw American pride. I watch vulture capitalists dismantle our manufacturing base, steel collapsed, furniture went overseas, and jobs left by the boatload.
I watched as Putin rose to power. I watched as Bush "staired into his eyes" Did he see the dark abyss that surrounds the FSB?
I saw Obama offer to be chill with Putin "once I get past this election" and I saw how Putin sent a "Fuck you" with Crimea.
Then TFG gets The Russians to help him with dirt on Clinton. This is when they won
They got their guy but they used him and their amazing propaganda machine to help sow dissent amongst our two party system. They want this division and rancor.
The weaker we are the greater they will push.
TFG was their opportunity now we Americans pay the price.

(24,504 posts)Trump and Republicans have won nothing. What they have done is expose the traitors in our midst. This will not end well for the traitors to our constitutional democracy.

(16,245 posts)Putin has won nothing except burrowing a hole..maybe a deep hole into our psyche n a loser who lost. We are fully aware n woke..if you, like. Or not. Im fed up with the negative but it inspires me to work extra hard to defeat this message that there is no glimmer of hope. I refuse.

(860 posts)I am just seeing how this is playing out I am watching how we are losing ground to these twists. We got screwed with the Supremes with RBG and Garland. The house is likely to go to the Repukes. SinManchin is royally fucking our collective asses. It is not pleasant to watch shit happen. I got through Regan and Bush and TFG no less. But i am tired of watching progress get trampled by these lawless shitheads.

The poor Russian people, living in poverty while Putin squeezes everything he can out of them. Then he, his 20 mistress, and his bastard children live in castles like Tsars. He throws money away at Trump while his people can't even get vaccinated.
