14. Republican leadership is komplicit with kompromat AND they're helping Russia steal 2020

I'm growing more convinced this isn't even about Dems v Republicans. It's Russia v western democracy. Putin has been playing a long game and has been working to undermine western societies for decades.

Trump suits that purpose just fine. Republicans are already bought and paid for. They're all complicit. Top leadership Rs aren't even hiding their trips/obeisance to Russia anymore (personally I don't even believe the tag #MoscowMitch rankles that fucking traitor)

I just hope we have enough turnout to swamp the voting algorithms they'll use to steal 2020. There's going to be rioting post-election, severe and bloody I'm afraid. It would help if the Dem candidate wins overwhelmingly.

The Republican party is utterly and supremely corrupt. They're not patriots and are committed to riding the #TraitorInChief train to the bitter end
