My Thought Experiment That No RW'er Has Had The Guts To Answer

Here's what I posted: "Consider this thought experiment and answer honestly. Imagine that a full-blown Russian agent (a person fully under Putin's control and drawing a sizeable paycheck from the Kremlin) became President of the United States. List all the things you would expect that person to do in that capacity. Now compare that list to all the things Trump has done in the last 3 years."

Crickets.

it's a great thought experiment for illustrating how closely aligned donnie's and putin's interests are, to any remotely informed, critical thinker.

but that's not who we're talking about.

one of the big draws about the reich-wing cult is how utterly simple and easy it is to "refute" any challenge to the cult's talking points. simply deny, distract, insult, and disimss, preferably at considerable volume. moreover, they can throw a ton of crap and see what sticks. it doesn't matter if 90% of their attacks fall flat. if they detect the slightest amount of embarrassment on the part of democrats on any one of them, they'll claim victory. and if you dig in, they'll just say you're too stupid or un-american to understand.


so with your question they can just say that you're still angry hillary lost, donnie's the most powerful man in the world ever and he's got putin right where he wants him, a real russian agent would have enacted every democratic proposal ever and destroyed our country by turning it into a "socilist" nightmare.



once upon a time, on a bit of a lark, my wife wanted me to meet a former boss of hers and really wanted to impress him. he was a big time texas republican, so we decided i would pretend to be a republican for the evening. now, i wouldn't consider myself much of an improv person at all, but as i said, acting like a republican is dead simple.

we pulled it off without a hitch. he was well impressed, thought she did very well and said i was a real keeper, lol.

part of the key is that it requires zero facts. it helps to have heard a few talking points, but even that's not entirely necessary.
