If I were a Republican, I’d be embarrassed. The foreign enemies of the US want the GOP to win every election. How can they see that and not feel shame over what they’ve become? They are the domestic mouthpieces of America’s enemies.
My God there are straight up lies on that page. Like the economic claims in the very first paragraph. They just don’t care anymore do they?
Edit, I’m saving this for later. When I have more alcohol to properly laugh at lines like, “Russia has the most professional army in the world.”
Never did, TBH. Conservapedia has been a meme since the 2000s, when it was infamous for being “Wikipedia for young-earth creationists.” It’s all propaganda BS, but useful as a window into what the extremist fringe is thinking.

Thinking may not be the right word here.
I just wanted to say holy fucking shit, I didn’t know Conservapedia was a thing.
And all of it sounds like it was written by a 7th grader who was being told what to type directly by Putin while his dick was in the kid’s mouth.
I didn’t know about Conservapedia, but I’m not surprised something like this exists. Alternative facts and all…
Love that they make you login to edit.
That’s gotta be a russian troll website.
No, unfortunately not. Been around for a while. Republicans didn’t like how they couldn’t control Wikipedia, so they decided to make their own.
Just because it existed before doesn’t mean it hasn’t been co-opted.
Eh, republican, russian, no difference.
Damnit dude, I had forgotten that site existed.
The Republicans who are embarrassed over this aren’t Republicans anymore. There might be one or two who still are willing to publicly declare Russia a geopolitical enemy, but they are an endangered species.
Now, you basically have two kinds of Republicans: The ones who privately see Russia as an enemy but say “the right things” to get more power and the ones that cozy up to Russia because they see Russia as a template to follow for turning America into a fascist, white supremacist dictatorship.
No you wouldn’t.
They don’t even believe that Russia is the enemy.
They have no shame, and to them anymore, Russia is only the enemy of ‘liberals’. It’s their role model for a future American oligarchy.
I know it’s crazy. When your ideology overtakes your common sense, it can be scary. Look at the Civil War and that era.
You know what they say: An enemy is just an ally who has komoromat on you.
Im pretty sure the word you meant to use was laundromat.
/backs into the bushes with the kompromat
If I were a Republican, I’d be embarrassed.
Republicans have long since demonstrated that they consider the capacity to experience shame to be a weakness.
They’re incapable of shame. It’s how they make perfect Russian assets.
Is that why every Republican has the same braindead take on Ukraine?
It’s funny, because at first the hawkish right loved ukraine
There are still some pro-Ukraine Republicans, especially in the Senate. They are nowhere near the majority however, but if enough of them decide to do the right thing (not likely, I realize) and vote with the Dems, a deal can still be made. Not going to happen until late January or February though.
And they were successful on the stupidest part of the population.
Oh look at what the DOJ have done with that information. Zero arrested, zero movement.
Useless Merrick Garland.
They refuse to enforce the rules then wonder why no one is playing by them. Half the time I feel like they must be getting paid to act that incompetently.
Weak Russia
The desire to harm the Democratic Party at times appeared to affect Russia’s prosecution of the war itself. The report says that Russian military officials delayed withdrawal from the Ukrainian city of Kherson until after the midterms to avoid giving Democrats a perceived win before the election. Russia announced its withdrawal a day after the election.
WTF? Why is everyone trying so hard.
China also tacitly approved efforts to try to influence a handful of unidentified midterm races,…
Iran also was blamed for trying to undermine confidence in U.S. democracy, while other foreign governments, including Cuba, were said to have experimented with small-scale U.S. influence pushes.
The funny thing is, Americans have been trying to influence their own elections for hundreds of years. This is just making us stronger. Lol at these latest feeble attempts.

This involves at least 3 different countries, how is that not world politics
What type of politics would you even see here if that were the case?
