Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

"I think Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it's infected a good chunk of my party's base," House Foreign Affairs Committee chair and Texas Republican, Michael McCaul, told Puck News.
Just noticed that? We figured that out almost a decade ago. Doesn’t help that the republican leadership parrots it too.
I too wait until my house is completely engulfed in flames before realizing that there is a problem.
You've been in office since 2005, you saw this shit firsthand and said nothing. Go fuck yourself.
Never did I think that I would have the thought. "Mmm maybe it's time to bring back McCarthyism."
Wow, no kidding.
Now if we only get many more of them to start conveying what is obvious, and in addition, get certain leftists to stop talking about "Russiagate" as if it is some kind of "hoax" that duped the "liberal media".
They know what they are doing, they just hate their own countrymen more than the Russians.
Everyone needs to take a side.
Russia or Ukraine
Palestine or Israel
Liberty or Tyranny
Coke or Pepsi
Not, like, to do anything about it. Just to cheer while other people do the dying.
I don't think they even hate the Russians. They imagine it is some kind of white ethnostate creating special privileges for cishet xtian white males.
Not only the base. Or does he just differentiate between "swayed by propaganda" for the plebs and "blackmailed or bribed" for the party officials?
Ol' Mike doesn't want to be held responsible for what he helped enable.
Can we just turn the Red Scare against them again? Just go all out and yell at them that they're Commies and un-American.
It worked in the 1950s.
Or… I’m just throwing out ideas here… what if we ship them and their lifted trucks to russia so they can totally be in such a conservative utopia?
Because anti-communists always turn out to be pro-fascists in the end.
It doesn’t work that way because, for instance, the congressmen that celebrated the 4th of July in Moscow belong to a political party that weakened campaign finance law and allowed the potential for foreign influence while nominating a man who they themselves claim is paid by Vladimir Putin; a political party whose voters fly the confederate flag, threaten fellow citizens with “2nd amendment solutions”, who say they want to drown the federal government and constantly argue for states like Texas to secede…
You know REAL AMERICANS.
REDUX: let Texas secede; watch conservatives move there, start a war, conquer it, reclaim it as a US territory with no voting rights or citizenship. Build the wall.
Traitors should've been purged after the civil war and the land given to newly freed peoples; Reconstruction was a mistake.
As if we needed more proof that Republicans are a blight upon the world.
How many ways can we say, uh duhhhh
Oh look, another thing that's been obvious for years that establishments are just now deciding to focus on.
There's a Slowpoke meme here, but I'm too lazy to make it.
Can we fucking stop pretending that republicans do not explicitly and blatantly work in Russia’s interests? They’re fucking traitors.
Just FYI, it's part of Russian propaganda to create political division in the US. Labelling everyone in the party a traitor is playing right into their hands. I wouldn't even be surprised if they help push this in left wing circles and you are inadvertently pushing Russian propaganda.
Any and all trump voters are traitors.
If they weren't all in collusion to overthrow democracy they wouldn't get labeled as traitors together. Like I would say Liz Cheney isn't a traitor, she's just a regular piece of shit.
Media: Best I can do is some vague headlines that tip-toe the idea while also donating to republicans.
Duh doy
Impossible. Tucker Carlson is clearly an independent and reliable source. /s
idk if infected is the right word. More like eagerly impregnated.
That's disgusting. ...And incredibly accurate.
Top Republican says party base "Russia's cum sluts"
Ftfy.
If it's not a legitimate brainwashing, the body has a way of shutting that down.
Deep cut.
Even in porn I haven't seen anyone take so many loads with that much gusto as the Republican, NRA and everything related to the right wing has for the past several decades.
Willful surrogate to Russian Propaganda, then.
It is a misnomer calling a rotting corpse “infected”, it’s just rotting. If foreign powers like Russia join in on scavenging on the rotting flesh of the Republican Party they aren’t “infecting it”.
These foreign agents are only distinguishable from the internal forces of rot by virtue of having originated from outside the body, but in behavior and function they behave identically to the organisms waiting within that had been begun feeding the moment the surrounding entity died.
