    Thing is, we got here because of the people pushing right wing nationalist attitudes. Russia is a big exporter of that kind of info via troll farms. China is probably second. While the US has been a growing shitshow for a while and it didn’t take too much effort, there was (and is) a ton of Russian interference deliberately destabilizing the West. The USIC and media have reported on it repeatedly, this isn’t some conspiracy. Everything from the initial Mueller investigation to the killing of Kirk has revealed outside influence pushing the US towards far right extremes via various media.

    So yeah, trump is a big threat, but the countries that helped put him in place are every bit as dangerous. Putin is doing everything he can to break up NATO via distrust of the US, wrecking the US economy by pulling money into wars in Ukraine and Iran, and Putin’s pulling that shitheel fool trump deeper into strangling the world economy via oil costs which will further wreck the US economy by turning economic and political allies against us. Trump is such a sucker he’s being played like a two year old with an oreo cookie waved in front of him. Worse, trump and or his cronies think they’re clever by timing stock bets and making millions of their fuckery.
