I know Republican politicians will say anything, so asking them questions is pointless. But, we should at least ask rhetorically, when will the Republicans announce they will support Democracy in America, even when the demographics have their very far-right wing politics clearly in the minority. In the last presidential election the Democrat won by over 3 million votes nationally and the Republicans said they were prepared to lose by as many as 4 million and still win the electoral college. Do they want majority rule in America? How far will they go to prevent it?
Crosscheck, the War on Drugs, closing voting places, voter ID, and many other techniques have been used to help them "win" and it's subverting Democracy.Monday, November 20, 2017

Trump's Tweeting Twilight
"Trump tweeted this:
"When will all the haters and fools out there realize that having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. There always playing politics – bad for our country. I want to solve North Korea, Syria, Ukraine, terrorism, and Russia can greatly help!"
"
I'll ignore that "They're always" has been misspelled by the leader of the Free world as "There always".
Most of the haters in America are Republicans and there are fools equally on all sides.
Most of us do realize that good relations with all nations is a good thing, but we don't like having 'good relations' with nations which intend us harm. It's essential to be able to recognize opponents and deal with them appropriately. Many Americans do not think Russia itself is a problem, but that Vladimir Putin is dangerous and means us ill.
Politics and government are always intertwined, as everyone knows. To insinuate American opponents of Trump are 'playing politics' is in its own way 'playing politics' and it's demeaning to claim people are not sincere about their views, but are only playing games. It happens, but there are enough important issues with regard to Trump policies and relations with Russia and Putin, that we can't afford to play politics on those things.
It would be great if Trump wanted to "solve NK, Syria, Ukraine, terrorism, etc.", but we haven't seen a lot of speech which indicates Trump knows much about them or how to create a strategy which everyone can support. What is Trump policy toward NK? Calling Kim names and claiming we'll destroy them has a point, but repeating this incessantly is seen more often as inflammatory and not helpful. What is Trump policy with regard to Syria? Nobody knows. Could Russia help? Sure, if they kick Assad out. But, Putin wants a government in Syria he (practically) owns, so he can protect Russian interests. He has no interest in protecting human rights, such as Syrians from being slaughtered. Is there a Trump policy on Ukraine? I can't imagine it being one Americans would support. Isn't the general policy toward nations where Putin has an interest to give Putin what he wants? In Ukraine American and Putin's interests are diametrically opposed (that means the opposite). Putin wants control of Ukraine, despite having no right to that, and America wants Putin to stay out of Ukrainian affairs.
If we ever saw Putin do something to improve these issues, rather than just pursuing his New Russia policies, then we could talk. Therefore, putting any trust in Putin is a bad policy.
Trump seems to be nothing more than a Putin toadie and Putin-wannabe and America won't stand for that.
