    I honestly think most of the people that simultaneously take both of these positions are working for the Kremlin. There are probably a lot more bad actors who are being paid to muddy the waters than any of us would guess.

      the amazing and disturbing thing is all of the republicans in the US who say everything the kremlin does and exhibit the exact same types of behavior.

        I mean, not really. They’re already foolish enough to be Republicans, it’s not really hard to hijack the direction of that sort of idiocy. The problem is having that kind of impact if you actually hold yourself to some form of ethical or moral standard.

        There’s a lot you can do if you don’t care about how it affects anyone else. If you do, it leaves certain strategies off the table, for better or for worse

          I’m not suggesting republicans got the idea or were manipulated by Russia, other than perhaps a few nationally prominent individuals. I just mean they appear to have identical personalities.

              Sure, they explicitly did and have acknowledged it. I just meant that wasn’t what I was saying right then.
