    Can we just turn the Red Scare against them again? Just go all out and yell at them that they’re Commies and un-American.

    It worked in the 1950s.

      It doesn’t work that way because, for instance, the congressmen that celebrated the 4th of July in Moscow belong to a political party that weakened campaign finance law and allowed the potential for foreign influence while nominating a man who they themselves claim is paid by Vladimir Putin; a political party whose voters fly the confederate flag, threaten fellow citizens with “2nd amendment solutions”, who say they want to drown the federal government and constantly argue for states like Texas to secede…

      You know REAL AMERICANS.

        Traitors should’ve been purged after the civil war and the land given to newly freed peoples; Reconstruction was a mistake.

        REDUX: let Texas secede; watch conservatives move there, start a war, conquer it, reclaim it as a US territory with no voting rights or citizenship. Build the wall.
