    So who could the Republicans get to illegally vote for them? Russian agents? Maybe they bus around bunch die hards to go place to place attending rallies and voting in every location they can.

      Russian agents are not supporting the Republican party. Stop pretending there is some conspiracy to make America like this. They did it themselves. Trump is like the most American American to ever American.

        Published as a strategy suggestion in 1997 and is literally a textbook for their military academy. Notice how it says “for instance, provoke Afro-American racists”. The playbook is to find existing pain points and dig in deep. Obviously it would be much more difficult to create such a movement from scratch. Much easier to inject ragebait into the lives of people already prone to being hateful.

        Other great bits:

        The United Kingdom, merely described as an “extraterritorial floating base of the U.S.”, should be cut off from the European Union.

        Wonder if that could ever happen, eh?

          We know the Russians were involved in that. MI6 confirmed it and then the government of the time covered it up.

        Trump is owned by Russian mobsters with whom he’s been laundering money since the 80s, and Putin who almost certainly has compromising videos of the president with underaged children (and I’m guessing at least one snuff video because Trump is a sick fuck who Jeffrey Epstein described as the worst person he’s ever known). It’s patently evident they conspire together—Trump himself admits he talks to Putin every week. “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.”

        It’s already been proven that Russians interfered in the 2024 election through disinformation campaigns aimed at discrediting Joe Biden and Kamala Harris / boosting Trumps candidacy. I don’t even know how people like you are convinced otherwise at this point.

        Even if Russia did meddle, it is/would be because it’s incredibly easy to fuck with US politics.
