So showing past facts, unrepudiated by you, does not address the realities?

I did not condone anything, I pointed out the falsity of the current media screamers you have fallen for.

Calling me a coward, very mature and witty. So do you expect I will curl up and agree with you having been won over by the force or farce of your argument? Maybe you expected to bait me into name calling.

Read the Mueller report, I have, then get some perspective on the actual volume of the Russian influence. Compare it to the volume of political speech, internet activity, media reports, political advertising and it is really about a bucket of spit in the ocean of discourse. The true success of their actions was not to change the election but help feed an interpretation of the election. Something your posting are actually complicit in. The KGB has a whole department dedicated to disinformation and undermining our institutions. You have fallen for the trap.

Look at the total number of Russian agents identified in the Mueller Report, Times it by ten and compare it to all the other political actors in the election and get real.

You are right about many southern democrats becoming republican. Most if not All those guys are gone from politics. But the blatant identity politics they practiced as democrats remain a hallmark of political division as practiced by democrats today, only the villains have been changed. Politics of division are not unique to democrats, republicans use fear and class too. They dont blatantly utilize bigotry, race, and nationality as the democrats do. By the way the southern democrats allies in the rest of America did not flee the party,

The southerners who fled that party provide current democrats with a get out of history free jail pass, but the continued conduct of the party belies that.

You endeavor to impose a belief system on me. While I respond to the specific issue you threw out which is foreign influence into US elections.

My ideology is simple, I am a dedicated believer in the constitution. I believe in common sense. I believe in restraint (something I failed on here by responding to your baiting) but more importantly restraint on the part of government.

My two greatest political concerns right now, which neither party is adequately addressing, much less intent on, are the national debt and the increase in all levels government control into everyday lives. The government that seeks to give you everything will end up controlling everyone.

I realize trying to argue here is more than likely a waste. Thus far you have proven that. Try focusing on actual arguments than personal attacks.
