Is it that the Russians have so taken over the NRA that the Republicans know that large source of money for them will dry up if they don't spew the GRU line?
It boggles the mind!

(15,294 posts)The saying goes, "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". The Rs are desperate to maintain their grip on power. Any means in service of that end is fine, even spouting Russian propaganda or the wildest conspiracy theory.

(22,424 posts)The Republicans want the same and they are following a leader who has successfully destroyed free elections, eliminated all other avenues for opposition, brutally and publicly eliminated strong opponents, aligned himself with a nationalist religion, and oppressed ethnic minorities.
For a republican, what's not to love about all this?

(100,139 posts)They really don't. There's no line they won't cross, no bottom too low, there's nothing sacred to them anymore. All they care about is owning the libs and triggering the snowflakes. They don't care who they stomp on in their quest for absolute power. It's truly sickening. Right now I'm convinced that you really could get away with murder if you have an R next to your name.
