I just... Aside from people who don't understand history, because Millennials didn't vote for Trump in an appreciable measure, but for those of us who grew up in small or large part during the Cold War, when did this become okay? I know for me, when Trump said, "Yay Putin!" that was a huge red flag. (Along with about a billion other things.) But...do we not remember? Do we not get it? How is this even okay?

I have no idea. It's not like Clinton didn't bring this up during every single debate. No one took it seriously. And now it's too late.

What kills me is the decided increase in Putin's favorability amongst Republicans from July 2014 to December 2016. The man is a danger, and yet, a large portion have decided he's not so bad since Trump obviously likes him.

Their willful blindness is what has truly destroyed us.
