keith, Because I want you to read and consider my response, I will refrain from insulting and low brow language.
I understand that it fits your narrative of me to claim that I have been crying for the last two years because my liberal left anti gun democrats didn't win the election, but I think you know you are making a false assumption to fit your position.
I have been constant in my attack that it is yours, and other trump voters knowing support of a candidate that is in the bag for russia, because they were helping him win the election. Russia's preference for, and efforts on the behalf of Trump during the campaign is an undeniable fact, confirmed by numerous intelligence agencies and the Mueller report. This was even addressed and made known during the election, where trump denied that it was Russia hacking the DNC during the presidential debates. The issue was front and center when Trump encouraged Russia to find Clinton's emails. A request that the Russian's took seriously and acted on as per the report. Why would Trump make this statement if there was no discussion as to the meddling?
What I have been crying for over the last two years is how Americans can throw their lot in with a foreign adversary over the integrity of our own elections because they see beating the opposing political party as a better outcome because it has short term gains for their party and ideology. That is incredibly disloyal and unpatriotic and if that is the calculus one makes with knowledge of the election meddling, it is also treasonous.
The issue is not if Russia actually influenced your vote. I never have, nor would I suggest that Russia did or could influence your vote. I am 100% confident that you would have voted for Trump, Russia or not. The issue is you and other trump voters did so with knowledge of their interference and that did not cause one moments pause.
That is not slight to me keith, that is a slight to your country, one that has given you liberty and freedom and the ability to choose your government and your representatives. A country whose previous generations sacrificed much to secure and preserve. Siding with a foreign adversary sh!ts on those sacrifices.
I quoted the above because your statement confirms my concern. You openly admit what is important to you and how that trumped the attack on our country. If you don't think that was an attack, Dick Cheney disagrees with you.

I never in that past was complimentary to him on Russia. I think if you search my posts you will find that I think we should have turned Moscow into glass back when they started their adventure into the Ukraine and the Crimea. I'll even happily go a step further. Mitt Romney was right and Obama was wrong 2011 when Romney stated that Russia was the biggest global threat.
To bad all of us didn't listen to him back then. Maybe this would not have happened to us.
Still, even with this knowledge, people put their party and ideology over country. That is what concerns me. Not that I didn't get liberal left anti gun democrats into power.
Nice.
My biggest concern is that the donald isn't going to make America as profitable as his casinos.
