Matt Taibbi Trounces Intellectual Mainstream: "Everyone's A Russian Asset?"
Authored by Matt Taibbi via RollingStone.com,
America laughed at Hillary Clinton’s remarks about Tulsi Gabbard, but her ideas fit perfectly in the pseudointellectual mainstream...
yep yer all ( barely) useful idiots...
Even if you posit the most elaborate theories of Russian interference (which I don’t, but of course I’m denialist scum), what happened in 2016 was still almost entirely a domestic story, with Trump benefiting from long-developing public rejection of the political establishment.
Rather than confront the devastating absurdity of defeat before an ad-libbing game show host who was seemingly trying to lose – a black comedy that is 100% in America’s rich stupidity tradition – Democrats have gone all-in on this theory of foreign infiltration. House speaker Nancy Pelosi even said as much in a White House meeting, pointing at Trump and proclaiming: “All roads lead to Putin.”
All? Seriously? Is this ever going to end?
it will, but only when one party is thoroughly annihilated...
there is virtually zero chance that the losing side in 2020 is going to accept it....
we've already seen the unhinged violence of the left after their 2016 defeat...widespread rioting and destruction of public property is all but guaranteed should they lose again...
it remains to be seen what the reaction from the right will be should they lose in 2020...it's unlikely to be the destruction of public property and local businesses...
it just doesn't seem possible that either side will accept defeat at the hands of the other...alinksy would be proud....
