RUSSIAGATE - THE RUSSIA/PUTIN THING

How many years of digging will go by with no pay dirt?

How many rabbit holes will be circuitously run down while finding no rabbits?

How many oil wells will have to be found dry?

Until everyone realizes there is no there there?

The Democrats, along with the primary U.S. intelligence agencies have done an amazing job in creating a conspiracy theory out of typically tiny areas of fact.

Progressives get it.

Far too many on the left do not.

We love simple explanations.

Why is Trump such an unmitigated disaster as president?

Why are we in such a terrible mess?

Why did HRC REALLY lose?

What's the answer? #Putin!

But hey. Why must the answer ALWAYS be 'over there'?

The right blew a dog-whistle & the left came running.

The DNC & HRC rneeded a fig-leaf for losing to the vile oranginamonster. They found it in Russiagate.

So many fell right into that liberal trap with such headstrong alacrity.

A target everyone can coalesce around is a potent political weapon.

You can herd your support. You can garner more to your cause. You can beat your opponent with it.

It's a no-brainer, right?

That's Russiagate. Politics as usual.

Hillary Clinton was humiliated by being beaten to the presidency by an amoral orange-faced bruiser.

The DNC  had been proven utterly & shamefully incompetent.

What better way than for all liberals to agree it wasn't their fault?

What if you've been herded into believing a fictional story with a dastardly villain is fact?

What if an opportunity to make the world a better place is lost for the sake of partisan politics?

What if all you've been told are lies?
