Summary
Republican lawmakers who have condemned Putin hesitate to criticize Trump’s recent pro-Russia stance.
Trump falsely blamed Ukraine for the war, called President Zelenskyy a “dictator,” and demanded Ukraine surrender rare earth minerals in exchange for U.S. aid.
While some GOP officials reaffirmed support for Ukraine, they avoided directly challenging Trump. Meanwhile, Trump’s administration negotiated a Russia-Ukraine peace deal without initially including Ukraine.
Zelenskyy rejected Trump’s minerals demand, warning of dangerous precedents.
Having once been one (well I was under voting age at the time), it’s so confusing to me. Fortunately I’m considerably older and wiser now, but it’s wild to see. Russia had replaced Nazis as the predominant bad guy of the zeitgeist. Now both are seen favorably by the right.
I feel like the brain worm problem is far more prevalent than just RFK. Is this just a subtle alien invasion? I’m not actually given to such conspiratorial thinking but if it were true, it would explain a lot.
Poor education, religion and unchecked propaganda. American problems that have been ignored for decades.
This isn’t just American problems. Hell, the AfD just won 151 seats in Germany, last I checked. This insanity is a global problem.
Some are seriously thinking it is the prevalent lead in the water and the result of many years of lead exposure in gasoline.
After dealing with acute lead poisoning of >300× in a US capitol, I believe it.
right wing ideologies are right wing ideologies. of course they are viewed favourably.
Well, if you take them at face value, then the things they said were important to them back in the Reagan era were just lies, since today’s MAGA-Republicans don’t follow anything like them now.
But even having said that, supporting a Russian dictator invading another country and NOT supporting NATO, that’s such a un-Republican thing to do that its hard to believe they can even act that way.
Half-kidding, but I’m thinking that there are lots of photos of political people doing compromising things being held over their heads.

No I think you’re right. I think based on some of the crazy stuff that has come out (that leak just as Hawthorne blowing up Republicans with his dumbfuckery), that there is a level you can’t reach in the party unless they either have something on you to keep you under control, or you give them something to ensure loyalty.
Maybe it’s conspiratorial but it’s not crazy like the government is hiding lizard people or Hitler is hiding in a base on the far side of the moon.
Going down that rabbit hole for a second, if true, then how in the F does the FBI/CIA/Military handle that scenario, when the political branch of the goverment has been compromised?
