    If I were a Republican, I’d be embarrassed. The foreign enemies of the US want the GOP to win every election. How can they see that and not feel shame over what they’ve become? They are the domestic mouthpieces of America’s enemies.

      The Republicans who are embarrassed over this aren’t Republicans anymore. There might be one or two who still are willing to publicly declare Russia a geopolitical enemy, but they are an endangered species.

      Now, you basically have two kinds of Republicans: The ones who privately see Russia as an enemy but say “the right things” to get more power and the ones that cozy up to Russia because they see Russia as a template to follow for turning America into a fascist, white supremacist dictatorship.

      They have no shame, and to them anymore, Russia is only the enemy of ‘liberals’. It’s their role model for a future American oligarchy.

      They’re incapable of shame. It’s how they make perfect Russian assets.

      If I were a Republican, I’d be embarrassed.

      Republicans have long since demonstrated that they consider the capacity to experience shame to be a weakness.

      Read the Conservapedia pages on Russia, Putin, and NATO sometime. The far-right is firmly pro-Putin now, and see his Russian autocracy as a model for the US to follow under Trump.
