      While I've been critical of the prevailing Trump/Russia narrative, it should be noted that conservatives/Republicans advanced endless narratives about Obama that were probably even less grounded in reality. Kenyan anti-colonial socialistic traitor with no birth certificate, etc.

      Difference is: those right-wing theories generally percolated on the margins, and were tolerated by GOP central command. (Trump himself exploited this dynamic.) Whereas Trump/Russia originates in the most mainstream precincts of elite society: media, think tanks, top politicians

          At the time, Trump wasn't a prominent GOP elite, and was regarded as a rather fringe figure. That's why I noted that he exploited that dynamic, to solidify his political standing in an atypical wayhttps://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1019935880134385669 …

          Fox News, Breitbart, Talk Radio with millions of listeners is not mainstream? I'm all for ratcheting down hysteria on Russia but you of all people can't be blind to how detached the mainstream GOP was (and still is) during the Obama years.

          A nice stab at relativism as an approach to truth, but really, it reads like some tenuous extrication from your previous belligerence on a subject which has been widely reported—it’s not a ‘conspiracy theory beat,’ these are world events here.

          Funny, I’ve been screaming treason, pointing at the Alfa bank, and furious over the groping rapist since before the election, MSM is way too slow, but you think this is mainstream pushing it? The resistance get a little squeak of its huge voice heard now and then, that’s it.
