I feel like we as a nation have regressed to an ugly time in history where racism was an accepted part of the American culture if congressmen are attending and speaking at White Nationalist rallies. Even worse, Fuentes, who organized the rally wrote on the messaging app Telegram, "I am totally rooting for Russia," while also referring to Putin as "my Czar." Gosar and MTG can act like they aren't pro Putin, pro White Nationalism, and all for dividing our nation and ensuring blacks stay out of their neighborhoods, but actions speak louder than words. No wonder they love Trump. Peas in a pod.
I'm sure this dude is one of her facebook friends War of Words: Meet the Texan Trolling for Putin – Texas Monthly
He has a YT channel. I skimmed through some of the comments and there are some of the same talking points I've seen here by a few.
How far have we fallen when we think Romney would be a decent President. Trump really lowered the bar for GOP presidents. Anyone seen Kasich these days?
Comrade Cruz has learned well. He is sucking from the Russian Firehose of Falsehood. https://www.rand.org/pubs/perspectives/PE198.html We characterize the contemporary Russian model for propaganda as “the firehose of falsehood” because of two of its distinctive features: high numbers of channels and messages and a shameless willingness to disseminate partial truths or outright fictions. In the words of one observer, “[N]ew Russian propaganda entertains, confuses and overwhelms the audience.” Contemporary Russian propaganda has at least two other distinctive features. It is also rapid, continuous, and repetitive, and it lacks commitment to consistency.
This pretty much crystallized for me what is going on. She is clearly projecting her beliefs onto Putin. She would rather a white christian nationalist dictatorship than freedom of religion and a multicultural democracy. The Republican party is becoming an authoritarian white christian nationalists party. - all culture war all the time - no platform - capital riot / coup - censure and call rino's the Republicans who are still democratic - constant lies, half truths, and misinformation - love of Putin and other dictators - subverting voting rights - everything is always the fault of Democrats I'm sure I'm missing a few bullet points, these are off the top of my head. Maybe I'm over-reacting and these people are outliers.
You pretty much nailed it. The Dems need to be playing up the GOP pro Putin angle during this election cycle.
Yes. This is pretty simple. Either you are supporting those that favor democracy (Ukraine) or those that wish to stop Democracy and started a war(Russia). It's that simple. It's a message that's easy to put in simple terms and have broad general appeal. So it is very doubtful that the Democrats can do that.
