Funny how republicans think it's funny that the Russians hacked our elections....

Kinda make me question their "american values".....

Orwell called it doublethink. Yes, they both get all choked up at 'patriotic' moments, responding to symbols of America, AND do not care if a foreign power messed with the election (since their Big Guy won). The mind is capable of disregarding the logical disconnect, if properly motivated.

And the Democrats don't appear to be overly concerned about this Russian attack on our democracy other than using it to attack Trump.

How things appear are never the full story. However, my previous post began with "and" which clearly demonstrates a more contextually sophisticated take on this story.

It seems the Repubs took a more serious approach to gerrymandering than the Dems and the fact that so much of the Democratic support is situated in urban "islands" made the pro Republican gerrymandering easy.
