    Or, hear me out, a majority of this is homegrown because rich people see the appetite for socialism and socialist policies in their populace and they are scared they will lose their royal thrones.

    The answer to socialism was fascism and propaganda last century, the same playbook is being used today.

      Or, hear me out, the American GOP has been corrupted by Russia since 2012, after Citizens United. That’s when Fox News started saying how Putin is a better leader than Obama. They were broke, and Russia funded them through the NRA.

      If you stop Russia, you can stop a lot of this bullshit.
