#russia elected trump

[w0lp3rtinger]

"- I have a lot of problems with Biden. He is clearly the better of the two options, which I recognize is a very low bar. Being better than Trump cannot be the standard, because Donald Trump is the absence of a standard.

"But the truth is, even if Trump looses, that won't be the end of this. The people who cooked up Project 2025 will just move onto Project 2029 instead, because for them, this is so much more than just one election, or indeed, one candidate. Project 2025 is born from impulse as old as America. It's an impulse that says one class of Americans is entitled to lead, and the rest of us are lucky to be allowed to serve- that thinks there should be a limited government when it comes to rules they have to live by, but also a unitary executive to keep the rest of us in line. These are old, old ideas that have been shouted from podiums-... but have now been placed into a new handbook for an only too willing president to use on day one.

"And in a perfect world, I would love if we had an opposing party better able to articulate a strong defense of our country's ideals and that also consistently lived up to them. People are entitled to hope for more from the next four years than someone just not being Trump (and for at least two supreme court justices to die)-...

"And for anyone tempted to think, 'Well, we survived Trump's first term,' first, not everyone did, and it should hopefully be very clear by now a second Trump term really does promise to be far, far worse, because if Trump's first term was defined by chaos, his second could be defined by ruthless efficiency. That should be troubling to absolutely everyone because Project 2025 is a movement who's members joke about wanting a white homeland and insist women have to have more babies to uphold western society.-

"We need to be better than this."

Russia’s 2016 cyber invasion of America to help elect Trump was known to apparently corrupt FBI officials in NY — and leaked to Giuliani — while the opposite was leaked to The NY Times. Snyder here lays it all out. A cri de cœur for Justice and history.

I live in Finland. It's been a very stressful few days seeing USA elect the convict as their president. Finland shares a land border with Russia and we have only recently joined NATO, which has caused further tension between us and Russia. Trump has indicated a desire for either weaken NATO support or to leave NATO entirely. This would like mean less NATO resources and weaken NATO support. We have a mad man at our border and we have aggravated him by not supporting his attack on Ukraine and by taking an active stance by joining NATO, something we had avoided doing for a really long time in an effort to maintain relations with Russia. A lot of European, especially Baltic, countries face similar situations and have reassess the threat Russia poses to them.

Ive seen a lot of discourse online these past few days where Americans take offense to Europeans reaction to the election. How can we not react when we have a credible threat to our safety at our door? Yes, we understand this is terrible for you but it is for us too. I personally already know my war time station. I know what my future holds should Putler attack us. I know hiw my life will change, should this happen. My family has made plans for their safety should this happen and I am so lucky I know my family takes this as a serious threat and makes plans just in case.

I dont mean to belittle anyones anguish over this, but I want to point out: it is just not the people in the US whos future is at risk because of this. It is very much a global threat.

I'm not American, but my feed is full of soft russian propaganda. Fake accounts, or clueless Westerners, posting over and over about how Ukraine has to surrender for their own good.

They keep using the term "to the last Ukrainian", acting as if Ukrainians have no agency in fighting for their freedom, and as if russia has a right to invade and colonise their neighbour. AGAIN.

I have family killed, missing, or POWs in this genocidal invasion. They know what they're fighting for. Let them speak about their own country, which apparently nobody here can even find on a map.

And it's no coincidence that the Kremlin has upped their "Ukraine must surrender to genocide" narratives so much right now, days out from MAGA likely sending the world into WW3.

So called MAGA “Patriot” leaders wrap themselves in our flag while pissing on the legacy of our founding fathers and the constitution. A vote for The False Orange Savior is a vote for tyranny. Putin thanks all of the MAGA politicians via $$$ for their service in the dismantling of the “United” States of America. It is always hard to accept that you have been scammed. However, this is reality. Look up how Putin was trained to take down western governments via creating this form of internal cancer when he was in the KGB.

So This Happened:

Confirming what was already pretty obvious, particularly in Tucker's case, but it is striking to see the head of government of arguably America's closest ally say under oath that both a major Canadian author and a major American broadcaster are paid agents of the Russian government.

Also, we see again that the Canadian Right is no different from the American one- treasonous scum employed by Russia to use "culture wars" to destabilize the country leading to a fascist state.

(Also, I am thinking of the years I spent working in a bookstore, and feeling disgust at the number of copies of Jordan Peterson's misogynist propaganda my job entailed selling over the years.)

That is all.

America Last is what the socialist democrats are all about.

As always, never buy anything made in china. Don't ever trust a democrat and NEVER leave your child alone with one.

Also it's fucked up to yell at members of marginalized communities for acting within the two party system and not burning it all down when you don't have a plan. People are not your fucking sacrificial lambs to skewer and roast on a stick

Source Previous Post (for reference) That's... that’s it. They’re making it clear as day: Putin’s presidential aide Nikolay Patrushev said, “To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. As a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them.”

What "certain forces" is Patrushev talking about here? Did Trump rely on Russian-orchestrated bomb threats? Starlink satellites run by Elon Musk that were linked to voting machines in key swing states? And what about the mysterious app Joe Rogan mentioned on his podcast—the one he claims Musk developed that allowed him to know the election results four hours in advance? We also still have no clue about the "little secret" that Trump alluded to at the MSG rally with Musk and House Speaker Mike Johnson...?

Beyond the election, what commitments are expected of Trump to said forces? Seriously, what’s happening here? This plot is way too thick not to investigate!
