PROMOTING A CULTURE WAR: HOW PUTIN USED TRUMP TO SEIZE ALMOST TOTAL CONTROL OVER THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
Milwaukee Independent ^ | Mar 1, 2024 | Thom Hartmann

Posted on 03/01/2024 9:26:44 AM PST by packagingguy

Meanwhile, under Trump’s and Putin’s direction, Republicans in Congress are doing everything they can to damage the people of the United States.

They believe it will help them in the 2024 election if they can ruin the U.S. economy while convincing American voters that our system of government is so corrupt (“deep state”) that we should consider replacing democracy with an autocratic strongman form of government like Putin’s Russia. Tucker Carlson is even suggesting that Russia is a better place to live than the US.

They revel in pitting racial, religious, and gender groups against each other while embracing a form of fascism that pretends to be grounded in Christianity, all while welcoming Putin’s social media trolls who are promoting these divisions.

Republican-aligned think tanks are working on Project 2025, a naked attempt to consolidate power in the White House to support a strongman president who can override the will of the people, privatize Social Security and Medicare, shut down our public school system, fully criminalize abortion and homosexuality (Sam Alito called for something like that this week), and abandon our democratic allies in favor of a realignment with Russia, China, and North Korea.

Trump got us here by openly playing to the fears and prejudices of white people who are freaked out by the rapid post-1964 “browning” of America. Putin jumped in to help amplify the message a thousandfold with his social media trolls, who are posting thousands of times a day as you read these words.

Now that Putin largely controls the GOP, today’s question is how far Republicans are willing to go in their campaign to bring the USA to her knees on behalf of Putin and Trump.

Oh no folks, we've been figured out!

The Democrats are on to our plans to make the United States a dictatorship allied with Russia, China and North Korea using the culture war strawman Trump ginned up.

And the GOP congress is all in on the plan!

They must all go to "save democracy"!

This is the kind of baloney that is put out when someone is paid by the Democrats to write baloney.

That paper is even worse than the Milwaukee Urinal Sentinel, which is only good for starting fires in the fireplace, wrapping dead fish, and lining bird cages.

So the Russian Collusion hoax was a lie.

Now they’re trying the American Collusion theory? Putin used Trump?

The Putin lives in this guy's head 24/7.

This jag-off probably has a Mao t-shirt and a Che t-shirt from college.

It’s hard to laugh at this nonsense knowing many of our FRiends make the same ludicrous connection to anyone who might not support the neocon/globalist misadventure in Ukraine.

"They revel in pitting racial, religious, and gender groups against each other while embracing a form of fascism that pretends to be grounded in Christianity democracy"

(slight correction before the usual projection)

good=evil/evil=good

...you know, the thing.
