    There was a time the GOP would have fought tooth and nail against the Soviet Union. Now that it’s called Russia, it funnels money to the GOP. They act as useful idiots to the Soviet Union 2.0.

    And I can’t figure out how people still support them. US citizens have a high tolerance for idiots.

      You know, there’s a difference between modern Russia and soviet Russia, soviet Russia posed an actual ideological threat to America whereas modern Russia is just kinda irritating and is threatening to hurt our economic dominance. There’s a reason that Russia is a partisan squabble now and back then it was pitched as a nonpartisan fight of good versus evil.
