Only 55% of U.S. voters now disapprove of Trump's handling of Russia while 71% of Republicans approve. This is why he is doubling down with a Putin visit to Washington and why we cannot just assume that Americans will oppose threats to their own freedom.https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-russia-voters/majority-of-americans-think-trump-mishandling-russia-reuters-ipsos-poll-idUSKBN1K72T1 …
How could so many Americans fail to oppose a clear risk to their own liberty? Well, candidate now president Trump has been in full, public embrace of Putin for three years and the vast majority of elected Republicans have, with few exceptions, been entirely silent on the matter.
The formerly bright stars of the party, including Paul Ryan and others, saw the basic contours of the threat early, but for years have thrown up their hands saying, “What can I do? I’m just a policy guy doing my job,” as though they were mutes and had made no oath to the nation.
Meanwhile, millions of Republicans and others who trust their leaders took queues from Trump’s Putin allegiance and GOP leaders’ silence. Now, we find ourselves in a situation in which our political will to defend ourselves from a serious national security challenge is tenuous.
I just got into an argument with a Trumpster who said the Russia threat was “insignificant”. Far more serious threats are the Clintons and DNC and what they’ve done. Fox News I’m sure. This is why I worry for us.
Watch Fox for 5 minutes, if you can, and you’ll see why they think that. As Roger Ailes said, “People like to be told what to think, and are too lazy to change channels,” so they never know how badly they are being lied to. It’s the formula Fox has used since its beginning.
"How could so many [Germans] fail to oppose a clear risk to their own liberty? ...the vast majority of elected [officials] have, with few exceptions, been entirely silent on the matter." That's what was said after WWII. Silence is not an option.
"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." (Abraham Lincoln)
There has always been a threat from Russia and I spent my military career preparing for an attack that never came Trump has sold people on the fact that Russia will attack if we don’t become friends. Fact is, Russia has NO Friends. The Cyber attacks says no to friendship!
Honestly, the right wing media and complicit GOPers (esp Congress!) who defend him and his antics no matter what are the villains here. They provide a legitimacy to the alt-fact trump admin that allows him to function.
