From Russia with hate: Donald Trump’s catastrophic presidency offers more proof that racism and sexism are destroying America
This week's Russian revelations are part of a larger pattern: Toxic white male identity politics brought us here

In my chronicling of the threat to American democracy posed by Donald Trump, I have repeated several themes. As demonstrated by his words, deeds and political agenda, Donald Trump is a plutocratic authoritarian and a fascist. Trump is also an ignorant buffoon, a racist, a nativist and a bigot. He is also a misogynist who has bragged about sexually assaulting women. (He denies having actually done so, but nobody believes him.) In addition, Donald Trump is a con artist and a habitual liar whose mental stability and emotional maturity are extremely suspect.

Trump was aided and abetted by a hostile foreign power that undermined the 2016 presidential election with the goal of installing him in the White House. By virtue of this fact, Donald Trump is a traitor. Any Republican Party officials who continue to support Donald Trump are traitors as well. This label also applies to his supporters among the American people. Collectively, the Republican Party and Trump’s voters have put power and party over country. They should be shamed and held accountable for such a despicable decision.

1. Maybe, but I don't believe the Russians care

... about our racial politics, or the racism that was displayed so embarrassingly last fall.

I believe they just found a way to use Americans' fear and prejudice against themselves. Those of us who have no fear of other races, we were immune to it, which is also why we're not Republicans anyway. The Russians wanted to disrupt our system and hold up a giant mirror so we could see how we look to the rest of the world.

Maybe it wasn't even that complicated, but Trump didn't care what the Russians motives were. Trump just played along and he's still playing along, until we stop him.

If Americans really believed in equal opportunity for all, would there have even been a Trump candidacy?
Probably not!

2. Those issues are just useful tools to bring down America from within

"President Trump" is Putin's ultimate weapon against western democracies.

Hate will eat up a person and countries as well.
