Acknowledging their role, is simply that acknowledging their role.

What are you talking about?
We all know trump canât think of anything, or anyoneâs interests, beyond his own self aggrandizement!
He had a simple empty-headed school boy infatuation with Putin and was played like the sucker he is.
Oh and like mrmhead points out, Putin wasnât the only âstrong manâ our trump man-child drooled over.
And none of that forgives Americaâs degeneration and the horrors that come with it, still since the Russians were the wind benight his wings during the 2016 election. We shouldnât forget about them either.
Oh and sure, then there was that stone cold bitc⌠, what a set up that was for our country.
Yeah lots of blame to go around. Any Manufactured Doubt for dessert anyone ???
I think this qualifies as âout of the the mouths of babesâ
Eric Trump joked with former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler on his podcast âUncutâ about the Trump administration and Russia saying, "we werenât smart enough to collude with Russia. We didnât know what the hell we were doing. "
But we sure as hell werenât going to bypass Russiaâs help. How else did we have any chance of winning?
Trumpâs charisma and tens of millions of resentful citizens.
Oh yeah those resentful citizens, the Hollywood nations, entitled freeloaders with too much never being enough.
Why should I be impressed with those resentful citizens, who canât see beyond themselves, who hate science and learning, and who hate being part of a complex cooperative society, and blame everyone else for their self created problems?
Is this your America?

Interesting read, looks at both sides and itâs quite a mess,
⌠Millions of voters, including the core group of Trump supporters â whites without college degrees â face bleak futures, pushed further down the ladder by meritocratic competition that rewards what they donât have: higher education and high scores on standardized tests. Jockeying for place in a merciless meritocracy feeds into the status wars that are presently poisoning the country, even as exacerbated levels of competition are, theoretically, an indispensable component of contemporary geopolitical and economic reality.
. . .
These forces in their totality suggest that Joe Biden faces the toughest challenge of his career in attempting to fulfill his pledge to the electorate: âWe can restore the defining American promise, that no matter where you start in life, thereâs nothing you canât achieve. And, in doing so, we can restore the soul of our nation.â
Trump has capitalized on the failures of this American promise. Now we have to hope that Biden can deliver.
George saw it coming⌠âI Me Mineâ
Hmm⌠interesting thoughtâŚ
I wonder if there is any correlation to the spikes we are seeing in COVID deaths.
We are witnessing natural selection at work âŚ!

Who said anything about being impressed. This is about how Trump instinctively understood how politics works and that is what got him elected â not Russian propaganda.
Yes, but not in the way you hope since Covid is not dangerous to most people.
Still, he couldnât have done it without Russian support and amplification.

âPersonally I think the idea that fake news on Facebook, which is a very small amount of the content, influenced the election in any way â I think is a pretty crazy idea. Voters make decisions based on their lived experience.ââ Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg, in remarks at a conference , Nov. 9, 2016
Mark Zuckerbergâs statement did not age well.
At this point, itâs old news that Russia tried to influence the 2016 presidential election. Not long after the election, the Obama administration imposed sanctionson Russia, including the expulsion of Russian intelligence operatives.
Then-FBI Director James B. Comey confirmed there was an open investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election six months later. And Russian operatives were indicted in 2018.
This year, the report by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III put it all in print: Russia used email leaks, propaganda and social media to stoke societal divisions and undermine the integrity of the election process in the United States.
Russian trolls and bots focused on controversial topics in an effort to stoke political division on an enormous scale â and it hasnât stopped, experts say
by Tom McCarthy, Sat 14 Oct 2017
For the past year, the world has reeled over escalating reports of how Russia âhackedâ the 2016 US presidential election, by stealing emails from Democrats, attacking voter registration lists and voting machines and running a social media shell game.
âŚ
And, even more pertinently, it is clear that these interventions are continuing as Russian agents stoke division around such recent topics as white supremacist marches and NFL players taking a knee to protest police violence.
The overarching goal, during the election and now, analysts say, is to expand and exploit divisions, attacking the American social fabric where it is most vulnerable, along lines of race, gender, class and creed.
âThe broader Russian strategy is pretty clearly about destabilizing the country by focusing on and amplifying existing divisions, rather than supporting any one political party,â said Jonathon Morgan, a former state department adviser on digital responses to terrorism whose company, New Knowledge, analyzes the manipulation of public discourse.
âI think it absolutely continues.â âŚ

Keep following this nonsense if it helps you not commit suicide. Most us have moved on.
Well thatâs your failing, not mine.
Gaslighting is all you got, isnât it?
Hitler instinctively understood how politics work and is what got him elected.
Trump is a fan of Hitlerâs book Mein Kampf. Are you?

The dotard wants to be just like Hitler. He lost and canât handle being a loser. As much as his cult following believe he will win in 2024, I believe heâs not going to run.
I remember getting worried sometime around April 2016 when his numbers were holding about 20%. He even said, if the polling keeps going up heâd keep running. And so he did. Also, he had Bannon who understood the electoral college. He probably wonât have him this time. Also, news was getting great ratings by broadcasting him, I donât think theyâll make that mistake again.
