Yup. Remember the "lock her up" rallies in 2016? Proven Russian Psy-op. Pepperidge farm remembers.

I remember when the NRA was found to have been working for the russians, having a russian agent in it, and doling out russian money like it was going out of style...

Funny how that just - fizzled away.

Same here. And yeah, it all just got swept under the rug while Trump and Maga hollered about the "Russia Hoax" painting themselves as victims.

Classic DARVO. MAGA is an entire political ideology based on mental illness, narcisism and supporting evil.

Remember when the online “Progressives” continued to push ‘both sides’ despite this? It’s the ongoing psyops to divide the left.

I have no doubt. As a younger gen X, I worry about the how much political-historical knowledge the younger generations have of the last two decades. In the 80's, for instance, a lot happened to change the course of my life, but as a child of the 80's I have only in the past few years begun to have a sense of those events. Likewise it feels like the political foundation for today's current events were laid in the 90's and 00's. So I wonder how much awareness many younger people in their 20's and 30's have now? I say this in the context of having been raised in the deep South and having to shake a lot of programming and fill in A Lot of knowledge gaps.

Yes, I was very relieved when Trump pissed Canadians off and derailed Maple Maga. The danger is still there though. If we get of here alive both the U.S. and Canada need a come to Jesus moment regarding their colonial/imperialist roots.
