Wow. Those Russians.
By now, people should know:
- Electoral College was NOT created by #RussiansAreComing
- #RussiansAreComing didn't gerrymander district for the last decade or two.
- #RussiansAreComing didn't force the Supreme Court to reverse the voting rights act.
- Russians didn't install the electronic voting machines, that have absolutely NO audit trail.
This neo-McCarthyism is dangerous. Why paint them as our enemy? Why band the drums of war?
How about, instead of starting WWIII with Russia, we bring in international election monitors. Instead of pointing our fingers and accusing someone else of things the USA does every day (influencing election via the CIA)?
The USA hasn't had free, fair and accurate elections, since at least 2,000.
Why paint Russia as the enemy? Why band the drums of war?
Because the United States can't stand not being Master of the Universe. You know, that thing called "American Exceptionalism" that can't stand not being the biggest, the greatest, the One and Only, and justifies "bringing democracy" to all all those backwards countries?
The combination of American arrogance, greed, self-righteousness and ignorance has caused wars for decades. Of course, no war in our back yard, please! No, let's fight a proxy war in Syria, let's move NATO forces closer to Russia (despite giving them our word after the reunification of Germany that NATO would not spread eastwards) and keep taunting them until, if they retaliate (in Europe preferably), we can point the finger at them and go "See? We told you they're bad, they're the aggressor!" and pose as the Saviors of the civilized world.
Oh, the hypocrisy of it all!
