    Do Republicans really hate America this much?

    It’s been over 10 years of this. When hostile foreign nations are constantly angling to hurt Democrats and support Republicans, how can you honestly tell yourself that you’re on the right side of this issue.

    I’m no fan of the fucking US government, especially because they do the same kind of shit to other countries, but that’s the damn point, we’re trying to fucking do better and the people who maybe could do better for us are being ratfucked by hostile foreign governments who always suspiciously support Republicans. I get that a lot of Democrat senators and house members are scum, too, but that leaves a whole large swath of the party (especially at the local levels!) who are not.

    I just feel like if it was clear nations that had vested interest in our nations failure on the national stage was always supporting Democrats, I’d be a little skeptical of it. The fact that Republicans aren’t screams volumes.

      Do Republicans really hate America this much?

      Yes. Absolutely. They despise all of the best aspects of America and longingly cherish our worst histories.

      Yes.

      Because it’s not just theirs anymore.

      The last time dixiecrats, now republicans, felt like they didn’t control the country, they declared war on it.

      What else do Republicans have anymore? All their morals/ideals/principles were sacrificed at the alter of Trump, and nothing else matters anymore. Winning (at any cost) is all they have.

      It’s not that they hate America. It’s that America stands between themselves and power/wealth.

      They don’t give a shit about America or Americans, but they don’t hate America. I definitely do think they hate the poors though.

    Russia is not alone in its activity. Microsoft also saw efforts by a China-linked group, known as Storm-1852, spreading content on social media critical of both Harris and Biden. However, Microsoft found that many of the individuals posting for the group went silent after this content was spotted. Chinese influence groups were identified earlier this month spreading content exploiting divisive issues in U.S. society.
