True. I just think the racism is one hinge to the connection.

Gorka is a key figure in some ways. He ties the American Islamophobes to E. European haters.

Part of it, anyway. You could do the same with a lot of other threads, like TPM is doing.

Yes, the mobbed up businessmen is one easy way to understand RU attraction. It's more than that. Then there's the racism.

Which is why I think Mercer/Bannon are key. They at least claim to want to/be implementing spread illiberal govt around world,

They actually post-date Putin. Hell, maybe Poot has the goods on Mercer. But Mercer/Bannon are, right now, ascendant.

Which is why I keep coming back to Mercer/Bannon. Because they're something different, and ascendant right now.
