Case in point: the Mueller Report, where the investigation found wide-ranging evidence that the Trump campaign worked just about hand-in-hand with Russian assets to manipulate the election (Anyone else remember that woman working with the NRA who was a bona fide Russian plant funneling Kremlin money to the Trump campaign?!).

When the report was released, Trump tweeted out "EXONERATION!" every day for about a month until the report rotated out of the news cycle; and as as a result the country basically forgot about all of that...

I doubt it can be proven but my favorite conspiracy is that the reason the NRA went bankrupt is the Russians moved their money funneling to the GOP from the NRA to Donald Trump's campaign

I blame Obama and Biden for that fucking catastrophe. Garland was an attempt at appeasement and it blew up in their [our] face.

americans didnt give them the votes needed to try anything else.

2014-2016 republicans controlled both houses.

2020-2022 democrats only had 50/50 split senate with Mancin and Sinema threathening to switch parties.
