In 1987 Trump visited Moscow. Since then, "He has changed his mind about abortion and crypto, he has supported different political parties, but his dislike of America’s democratic allies and his preference for Russia have remained remarkably consistent." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

“our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians.” If the U.S. military forces suffered those kind of damages under a Democratic admin, Congress would impeach the Defense Secretary and lot more.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power. Remember this.
