      On Feb 20, 2016, Trump beat Christian Conservative candidate, Ted Cruz, in SC, 34.5% to 19.3%. ~3 weeks before hack-and-leak by RU started

      A critical date bc it proved explicit racism could--and would--beat all the claptrap GOP has invested in religion over last several decades.

      I raise that bc there's STILL a push to suggest Trumpistas influenced by Putin. Yeah, Putin helped. But Trump was ALREADY winning w/racism.

      No doubt. But also no doubt that racism is a major feature in Putin's appeal to right-wingers both here and in Europe.

      Who gives a shit if racism is a major feature in Trump's appeal to right wingers, which is more immediately damaging?

      Don't know who the "blame Putin for racism" folks are, but that sounds idiotic. But US and Euro racists do look to RU. It's troubling.

          Only an idiot would blame US racism on Putin. But Trump, LePen, elements of Brexit, Hungary, etc. -- alarming to see it mirrored here.

          It is not MIRRORED here. It is largely CREATED here, mirrored there. Again, stop coddling American racists.

          That's not something that's been explicit in our politics of late as in France or Greece or Eastern Europe. Now with Bannon, Gorka, it IS.

          Oh. Sure. Voter suppression has been key to GOP wins since (and including) 2000. But racism hasn't been explicit. Uh huh. You're coddling.

          Black people have been shot with impunity. But we haven't had explicit racism. Nope!!

          You can keep rattling off as if that's what I meant, but it's clearly not. You're being kind of silly here.

          Thanks. I think the same about you. I also strongly believe you're in denial about racism here and that serves to coddle the racists.

          Amazing. Well, since the words I actually write don't seem to register at all with you, I'll just say I'm a big fan of your work on IC.

          Yes, he's their unleashed id. But if you've never read up on the RU's allure to White Nationalists (pre-Trump), it's illuminating.

          I've read a lot of stuff that is unbelievably uninteresting bc it puts MORE weight on RU than 300 years of racism. Stuff like that?

          That's stupid, as I said. US has racism to the bone, no need to import. The actual point is its exploitation as part of this whole thing.
