  You guys are gonna blame leftists and/or Putin all the way to prison, aren’t you? What’s happening now is purely American, baby, and non-whites have been subjected to it for hundreds of years.

  Sarcasm aside, you really don’t need to look much further than American literacy rates and money in politics to see how we got here. Bonus points if you look into FPTP and gerrymandering. Of course it’s much easier to be intellectually lazy and just say “this is all Putin’s fault. Just wait till the miderms”.

  All the things that were said the USSR would do, we did unironically.

  If you stand up against this, everyone on every other side tries to tear you down as a traitor to their own cause(s).

  Honestly though, we did it to them first with the Soviet union. It may have toppled by itself but we were DESPERATELY funding and fomenting the same shit in the Soviet union for decades.

  It worked.

  Now it’s working here.
