Russia Trying To Get Trump Elected Won't Matter to Trump Voters or Rs in Congress

They dont give a shit, because it has never been about the USA, our freedoms and our striving for equality.

It's about one thing: they've got theirs, they want more, they will take that more from you, and go fuck yourself because you're not a rich white Republican.

Ask the typical Trump voter if they would be at all upset to learn that Putin worked to defeat Hillary and get Trump elected and they will say 1. that's not true, or 2. so what? In that, they will be told by our media that 1. it's not true, or 2. Ds did it, too.

I cannot believe our country has reached this point. The whole rotting piece of shit is out in the open for all to see, and the attitude coming from 90% of the country is "so what?"

Fat chance. We need to nip this in the bud before he takes the oath. But since he's not a government official he can play treason off as "Russian support because I'm the best". And the republicans in congress have started to believe the fake tinfoil hat slop that the GOP feeds it's electorate (guess nobody filled them in on the con?) so you'd be hard-pressed to convince them. We're being ignored and held hostage at the same time.

After that campaign and all that he said I no longer think anything he does or says will matter to his supporters.

Senator Joe McCarthy to RUIN THE LIVES of anyone he deemed to be Communist and McCarthy claimed the federal government AND the Army were lousy with Commies. Here we actually have proof, evidence in infiltration and it means nothing to republicans.

Unprecedented. Can it be said: Coup d'état -- because if "Nothing Can Be Done" it sure sounds like one.

in a nutshell

Except that 51% of the country actually does care. They have just had their voices silenced by the new fascism.
