It's easy to understand why Trump's base would be OK with Russian interference.

[no_hypocrisy]

Because Russia helped to elect their boy. Otherwise, the Base would remain a political minority. Nobody taking them seriously. Their prejudices unaddressed. Their wish for their religious views to be enacted into law ignored. Democracy was passing them by every election.

So whatever it took to get them to the front of the line, they're down with it! Trump knows and appreciates that. Democracy is not how inadequate candidates get elected. Russians are cool (until their boy no longer matters to them).

2. Good Observations

Except that democracy didn't pass them by. They just didn't convince the majority that their way and their people were best.

And that's good. The rest of us don't want to take them seriously. We don't want to witness their prejudices. And I'll be damned if I want laws that cram their religion down my throat.

To get their way, they resorted to lying, cheating, and stealing. It was their choice. I just hope that one day they will realize what they turned themselves into, but it isn't likely. They'll just find another golden calf to get on their knees to.

The evangelicals love Putin because he is white and he hates the gays.
