Even this far away from the 2020 national election, Republicans are making it clear that the government of the United States would operate on behalf of whoever steals the election for them.  These include Resident Donald Trump. aka Putin’s Puppet, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, aka Bought Bitch Mitch, and almost the entire Republican Reich.  Anyone can reach that conclusion by examining their behavior and who benefits from it.<\/font><\/p>\n

Looking at the entire picture in context, consider Karl Marx\u2019s favorite question<\/a>: \u201cWho benefits?\u201d <\/p>\n

Who benefits when the leaders of countries with sophisticated internet hacking capabilities (North Korea<\/a>, Saudi Arabia<\/a>) and no democratic oversight are told by Trump that as long as he\u2019s in office he has their backs<\/strong>? <\/p>\n

Might Trump and McConnell hope they\u2019ll intervene in our election to keep in power a political party that now disdains democracy and a free press, and embraces dictatorial behavior<\/strong> like calling for the imprisonment<\/a> of Trump\u2019s political rivals, and of individuals in the intelligence agencies who have investigated him and the GOP? <\/p>\n

Who benefits when countries with world-class internet hacking capabilities and less-than-democratic (Russia<\/a>) or highly corrupted and oligarch-dependent (Netanyahu<\/a>, Duterte<\/a>, Modi<\/a>) leaders become \u201cgood friends\u201d of Trump and\/or help Trump build or brand properties in their countries?…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So the Trump family makes $millions.  Oligarchs get to bully their neighbors and take territory by force.  Most dangerous to Americans, Republicans get to continue their transformation of the US into a permanent, totalitarian, white nationalist Republican Reich, in which elections exist for show only, because Republicans decide who gets to vote and who counts the votes.<\/font><\/p>\n

Watch Republicans working to enable election theft<\/a>.<\/font><\/p>\n
