Russiagate Is More Dangerous Than Trump
For all the people still pushing, still believing the Russiagate hoax, even if you think there is anything to it, listen for once.
Yes, Trump sucks. Yes, he is dangerous (mostly for the power given him and renewed by both parties). He is unstable, crude and idiotic. He is helping to destroy the economy but did not do it on his own. You do remember why we were fighting for change in 2016, right? And 2012? And 2008? Remember the Obama promise of hope and change which never materialized?
Yet when it comes to international risk of warfare, Trump faces no “resistance”. No matter how lame or crooked his attempts at peace have been, they have been stronger attempts at peace than any administration in decades. It has been his peace efforts which have gotten actual resistance, pushing for conflict with Russia, maintaining tensions or worsening tensions with North Korea. When he bombed Syria, corporate media called him “presidential” and not a single opposing word was heard from Democrats. When he increased troops on the Russian border and sea lanes, complete silence. When he increased military presence in the South China Sea, he had complete support from both parties. When he imposed sanctions and talked about invading Venezuela, he again had complete support with no opposition.
The thing you absolutely must understand is that no matter what he has done or not done, Russiagate is still more dangerous than all of his actions/inactions or twitter tirades combined.
