[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is clearly on the Republican Party and Russia. China just got out of the way and let Trump and the Republicans destroy everything.

Trump and the republicans just do not believe in western values or democracy. If you do not believe in the system and its institutions you can throw wrenches in the works as you watch it all breaks down.

Fox News, X, NYP, WSJ, CBS News, NYT, etc are all in on it. [/quote]
This.

PP complains about housing and infrastucture, but funny how democracy had no problem giving us those until 15 years ago. Democracy also gave us civil rights, wage-and-hour laws, and, yes, healthcare. Employer-sponsored insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid were all modern solutions to improving social welfare at the time they were enacted. Outside the U.S., democracy is also what created actual universal healthcare. China, meanwhile, has famously stingy social programs, which is a big reason its economy is deflating because people have to hoard all their savings.

The “problem” with democracy, is that one side spent the past quarter century deliberately ensuring government wouldn’t function so that they could justify tax cuts for themselves. The Russians caught on to this around the dawn of social media and have been working to foment division in that side’s favor ever since. Why? Because they too benefit when their enemies’ governments stop working.[/quote]

The "problem" with democracy is still a problem with democracy. China doesn't have a foreign propaganda problem. [/quote]
