    WWII.

    They’re Russian assets. The GOP is the Russia’s most impressive achievement in the cold war.

      Essentially. After WWII, the US imported some Nazis in exchange for their research. This was a mistake. They are like an infection. You do not let any of it survive. You eradicate it

        The cold war started like 80 years ago.

        Believe me when I say there were virtually 0 Americans falling over themselves to suck Putin, or any other Russian’s dick in the 70s. This has been a century’s long effort. The fact they fall over themselves to suck Putin’s dick today is the achievement.

        Never underestimate the adversary.

          Decline of the Republican party took off with the dropping the requirement of “News” channels to actually have News.

          Fox (Faux) news & Reagan started us on the road, Putin jumped on & up to pilot the train more recently. Propaganda and division are their standard bearers. They are now the fake news snowflake party (gays are ruining America! Bad books are corrupting our children! Immigrants are raping and spreading drugs everywhere!).

          It is a terrorist organization. I wish defense department (& budget) would be used to dismantle Murdoch’s & Putin’s tendrils.
