If Trump was the only problem, I would be less worried. It is that we are prone to partisanship and there appear too few adults in the room pushing against that tendency. And now foreign (and maybe just as many domestic) actors fostering it for their own purposes.
Yesterday’s indictment of another Russian involved in ongoing disinformation targeting our democracy is a reminder of a still under-appreciated fact: Moscow and Trump both rely on cultural flashpoints including race and immigration to divide Americans and advance shared goals.

It's all quite fascinating. The question is, what's the endgame? Where does the division of the factions lead us? Specifically, what is the advantage to Russia? There's "divide and conquer" but that's not really practical in this situation.

Repeat this daily. Who benefits from *dividing* the United States? Not the USA.

Exactly. Putin's Middle East interests create massive immigration into Europe & proto-fascistic movements profit from the cultural conflicts. Likewise, if Trump withdraws aid for Central America, he could induce more Northern migrations and possibly consolidate power.

A method of the elite rulers to keep the paupers from getting uppity and wanting what they have. Old as dirt and works so well with our human fear based thinking. Keep them angry/fighting/killing each other and they will not have time to ponder them.

Let’s not sugar coat it. In other words both
#AgentOrange and Uncle Vlad@PutinRF_Eng are conspiring against both the American and Russian people in favor of protecting their own wealth and the wealth of their#oligarch friends. They’re both enemies of the people.#ResistanceThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
