the sooner we as a nation realize that Russia isn't pro-Trump, it's pro-divisiveness, the better.
At some point Americans are going to have to start listening to the Russians telling us to stop giving Putin all the credit. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/23/world/europe/russia-vladimir-putin-liberals.html …pic.twitter.com/n3tK4IEwzi

The sooner we as a nation realize that we're fucked up without mentioning Russia the better.
-
yes, I agree we're fucked up. but it's pretty clear that Russia is amplifying our tribalism for its own gain.
-
And it's equally clear that so long as people focus primarily on Russia we'll remain vulnerable to Russia and other players.
-
Well that I agree with. But of course Russia makes a nice whipping boy for Team Blue.

We know that already. But we shouldn't ignore Russia in her attempt to distance from Trump. "No you didn't create him but he wouldn't be the Trump he is today without you."
-
No. We don't know that already.
-
I did.

And I'm sure I'm not alone. Perhaps the media didn't. Perhaps those who didn't recognize racist dog whistles, or the fake "economic discontent" didn't. Or those who ignored the racial overtones of extreme GOP politics didn't. But it was obvious to those who paid attention

Russia is a catalyst, here, of a damaged discourse that already existed. But still, one wonders how much further a more powerful state could go (e.g.: China).

Few give him all the credit. Trumpism is an American phenomenon that Putin aided. It’s not one or the other

Yup. US has a pretty sordid history of oppression and (sometimes) hidden corruption. Major factor now is greed; Russia merely facilitator.

It turns out the real Russians were the corrupt officials we empowered along the way.

Russians are so prone to scheming that even when they oppose Putin they still run kumpromat on the Truth and its US allies
