I am no Russian expert nor policy wonk, but Trump’s obvious affection for authoritarians is well documented. The calls between Putin & Trump prior to the election should be concerning. (Tho I find it hard to believe our intelligence organizations don’t know what was said-maybe wishful thinking on my part) Tulsi Gabbard leading an intelligence organization should be causing great concern to Congress, Americans & our allies. His cabinet picks are beyond horrendous. Putin’s wish for a weakened & incompetent U.S. is the perfect gift for his Christmas. So sad.
Yours is the loud wakeup call for all of us who know the fragility of our democracy. This is the worst time for the dumbing down of American cable media voices, i.e. MSNBC. It's time for hard, unpopular truths to be examined and questioned; what are Americans willing or able to do to protect our Constitutional Democracy. Most of us are uninformed, un-used to these challenges to our democratic norms and institutions. Get ready.
Trump is much more dangerous now than in 2016-20, as evidenced by his FU cabinet selections and total lack of restraint, and because his narcissism is peaking. Like an overinflated balloon just set free, his actual policy and behavior directions are impossible to predict. Just what he wants.
