So. Even if Republicans don't believe his campaign worked with Russia to get Donald Trump elected (they did), aren't they the least bit concerned that Russia wanted Trump to be president so badly? Aren't they even a little dismayed that Trump and Putin align so perfectly? 1/
From the very moment he announced, Russia decided that Donald Trump was their man. Even Republicans who believe there was no collusion should be troubled by that and its implications...unless, you know, all of their grandstanding on national security was actually just branding 2/
The truth is the Republican Party has become a party with no other concern besides power. Whatever it takes to get power, whatever it takes to hold power, that's what they'll do. The divide between what they actually believe and what they'll profess is unbelievably massive 3/
This relationship with Trump is the side-effect of a decades long marriage between an elite ruling class with concerns about the market and the affairs of the wealthy and a rhetoric of white populism. It just so happens that this monster got out of its cage and took over. 4/
Right now, the GOP are shackled to a man who is an obvious traitor. He put himself and his empowerment and enrichment over the security of the United States and its people. Every day that they defend him is another indictment of them. 5/
In the wake of the Mueller Report, if they had any actual honor or duty, they would have lined up to repudiate Trump and call for his resignation. Their silence and steadfast loyalty tells you everything you would ever need to know about them. It's about party and power. 6/
Don't ever, ever, ever let the GOP claim they're the party of national security again. They're aiding a man who actively sought help from a foreign adversary and turning the other way in exchange for power. Never let them use this rhetoric again. 7/7
