Blocking Garland’s nomination
Allowing Garland to become a feckless AG
Acquitting Trump twice
Stacking the court 6–3
Abusing the filibuster
Sabotaging election security
Fueling division and dysfunction
Mitch McConnell didn’t just enable Trump—he architected the road to American fascism.
Burn in hell, Mitch.
I hate that we’re still thinking about things in these terms. It’s not Americans versus Russians, it’s Americans, Russians, and pretty much everyone the fuck else versus our leadership. Putin fuckin sucks, so does our leadership, and it’s the people of the US, the people of Russia, and all the people we impact that pay the price for it. If the average Russian gets ahead in life over me, it doesn’t impact me. In fact, good job, bud, I’m happy for you. If our fucking asshole leaders get yet another leg up, though, it impacts basically everyone.
Gotta tell ya, there are an unfortunate number of Russians and Americans that support shitty leadership because they’re shitty people and they want shitty things to happen, and a bunch more that are willing to look the other way if they perceive it helps them somehow.
It’s a class war, but ordinary people have been effectively deprived of the ability to realize this. Marx had it right about the need for class consciousness.
I said this years ago and got flamed on Reddit.
The oligarchs and the intelligence agencies of every major power are more friends than they are with citizens of their own nations. China and the US and Russia are friends at a certain income threshold. The enemy bullshit is for us peons
