Russia was once enemy number one in the US. So how did Vladimir Putin infiltrate the Republican Party?

First of all, who is abc . net . au? Au suggests Australia to me, while abc was traditionally thought of as the American Broadcast Company. Mixing these elements is weird. Clicking through, the provenance of the website is unclear, which suggests more Australia than the usual abc format I've seen in the US. The online media landscape is a mess...

Then the headline. Interesting. Basically, this falls under the category of "label millions of US citizens enemies of the US." Disagreeing with the Partytm line is now treason. Treason is, of course, punishable by death. I'm not sure of the actual goals of the people who hate Republicans so much that, in their effort to fight Russia, they label such a large proportion of their own population traitors. Which do they want more: war with Russia or civil war within the US? It can be hard to tell. Wouldn't it be ironic if, by hating their own citizens who want to maintain their perspective beyond simple "hate Russia propaganda", the power structure is actually further destroying the viability of the United States, thereby actually achieving Russia's goals better than Russia itself can? In other words, forcing people in the US to hate a country not all are ready to hate will actually be advantageous to Russia.

The Partytm in the US has become absolutely lost in their own lies. As Orwell predicted, they sell War as Peace. I think they were hoping the home population would be closer to the level of cowed it was in 1984, but there are still far too many people willing to think outside the box they are defining. When the US kills millions, it's good and promoting democracy. When the Russians kill millions, it's authoritarian and evil. Too bad for The Partytm that they have already begun to show their own true colors by acting in authoritarian glory toward their own citizens. Those of us who have been deemed "non-compliant" now form a large column of "enemy minds" within their own borders.

The Partytm is evil, and this evil is more pressing than the evil the Russians have unleashed on Ukraine. The Russians have unleashed misery, and that should not be ignored, but the people in the west screaming loudest about it are even worse than those they so hypocritically condemn. One doesn't have to be a Putin fanboy/fangirl to hear what The Partytm is selling and say, "Absolutely Not. I'm out."

Thanks, though the issue here is not hatred. It's about GOP support for Russiaan oligarchs in recent years. The obvious problem is that Russian donors have bribed and compromised GOP and the GOP propaganda media (Fox &c). Thus GOP supports Putin's war crimes, genocide and reducing Ukraine to rubble, though there was absolutely no provcation for this. ABC.net.au is a very old Australian broadcasting network, which you can read about, here. But don't worry about this article on Saidit. As you can see, no one has voted for it, because Saidit supports war crimes against innocent Ukrainians, and supports the abuses of the corrupt GOP against the 99% in the US and abroad. You don't have to worry about people hating your favorite fascist GOP party. This is to be expected, but no one on Saidit cares, and would rather want GOP continued genocide against the 99% and Ukrainians, especially if Russian oligarchs can help with this by sending millions to a few greedy GOP assholes.
