Kind of a side-tangent, but it has always been so annoying that Republicans tried to make this some sort of “Democrat hoax.”
It began when Trump was President and Republicans had the House and Senate. Trump’s own Republican Deputy AG began the inquiry after Trump’s Republican AG had to recuse himself. It happened shortly after Trump fired his lifelong Republican FBI director. The Republican deputy AG hired a Republican to be Special Counsel. The Republican-controlled Senate Intel Committee backed the merits of the investigation and findings.
There were hardly any Democrats involved whatsoever.

This is the main reason why so many generals, vice presidents, national security officials, and Trump’s own former cabinet members are endorsing Harris. They know damn well that Trump is a national security risk.
Lol I mean his campaign manager is putins man and helped get his guy in power in Ukraine.
Totally random he became Trump’s campaign manager…

Pretty wild that the same people who believe in democrats controlling hurricanes, pedophile pizza basements, and Jew space lasers, also think the idea of Putin paying some Redditors is a bridge too far.
But I guess a conspiracy is only fun when it makes no fucking sense.

Don’t forget, a Republican-led Senate committee found that Russia interfered with the election.
This was during the Trump administration when that committee was controlled by Republicans.
They confirmed that Mueller was correct that the Russian government had engaged in an “extensive campaign” to sabotage the election in favor of Trump.
They concluded that the Trump campaign’s openness to Russian outreach created a “grave counterintelligence threat” and the potential for “malign Russian influence.” They concluded that “it is possible — and even likely” that the Trump campaign was manipulated by Kremlin operatives.
And there’s a lot more in there. You won’t find it in conservative media, but there are lots of mainstream media articles summarizing the findings, and if you think they’re misrepresenting the facts you can go directly to the report *that was written by Republicans* and check for yourself.
If Trump knew these things were going on (and the report concludes that he lied about some of that) then he’s complicit. If he didn’t know then that just adds to the pile of evidence that Trump is gullible and easily manipulated.

And just to pile up the evidence that MAGA are as gullible and easily manipulated as the corrupt narcissistic buffoon they follow:
Trump uses language like “vermin” and “not human” and “poisoning our blood.” How could you want someone who uses such vile dehumanizing rhetoric in a position of power?
Trump tried to steal an election. *You can hear for yourself* the phone call in which Trump pressures the GA sec of state to “find” him the exact number of votes he’d need to pull ahead by one, and to just call it a “recalculation.”
Trump obstructed justice to illegally retain highly-classified documents. *You can hear for yourself* Trump admitting that he didn’t declassify the documents he illegally retained. And he doesn’t deny that he failed to comply with a subpoena for those documents (after being given over a year to voluntarily return them). Ironically, failing to fully comply with a subpoena is one of the allegations that “lock her up” was about.
Trump used a fake “university” to scam working-class people. *You can watch for yourself* as Trump makes promises on video to potential buyers of Trump “University,” promises he used to scam people into paying a premium price for a real estate course. And *you can watch for yourself* as Trump testifies under oath on video and admits (just absolutely seething) he didn’t even try to deliver on those promises. He admitted under oath to all the elements of fraud, and he settled because he was going to lose.
There’s a lot more, but these are thing you can see and hear for yourself without having to trust the mainstream media at all.
Being a MAGA means being *willfully* ignorant and *deliberately* gullible.

Trump’s obsession with dictators isn’t just concerning; it’s dangerous. His actions show a clear pattern of prioritizing their interests over America’s, and that’s not a good look for a leader.

Russia has directly invaded a dozen sovereign countries since 2014. Russia has actively declared itself in a proxy war with the West. Russia despises western civilization. Russia’s troll farms and active psyops have been extensively documented by the FBI, CIA, MI6, and NATO mil intel.
Why people ignore the elephant in the room is beyond me. But it is dispiriting how many factional Americans are willing to accept the support of a foreign tyrant

These people don’t care. You got a coalition of racists, old timers who are actually hoping for the end of the world so Jesus can save them with eternal life, jackasses who’ve given up on getting ahead so they want to drag everyone else down to their level, and rich people taking advantage of them all. I’m done extending the olive branch. The whole R party is a collection of do nothing losers.

Trump never explained how he came into possession of internal DNC emails tgat were stolen by Guess who…RUSSIANS. His own campaign manager was employed by a Russian oligarch to influence the elections in Ukraine and other places. Robert Mueller indicted 28 Russians, Congress found Russia interfered in our elections and voted to sanction Russia. TRUMP dropped the sanctions. …
MAGA IDIOTS would have you believe there was no Russian interference…
Trump gave putin covid test machines and other covid supplies while rural america was choking to death and barely a blip in the news cycle. WTF is wrong with our media, I mean I know, but seriously it’s why I support independent groups like MeidasTouch, who break news and also help contextualize with facts not just opinion(or flat lies).

When Republicans call something a “hoax” you can be sure that it’s not.
A lot of MAGA don’t know about the [Senate Intelligence Committee report on Russian interference in the 2016 United States presidential election](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senate_Intelligence_Committee_report_on_Russian_interference_in_the_2016_United_States_presidential_election) because conservative media hides that sort of thing from them (and MAGA like it that way).
This was during the Trump administration when that committee was controlled by Republicans.
They confirmed that Mueller was correct that the Russian government had engaged in an “extensive campaign” to sabotage the election in favor of Trump.
They concluded that the Trump campaign’s openness to Russian outreach created a “grave counterintelligence threat” and the potential for “malign Russian influence.” They concluded that “it is possible — and even likely” that the Trump campaign was manipulated by Kremlin operatives.
