My point is it's easy to blame Russian interference, etc. It's harder to look inwards and realize that oh hey, this country is actually just not thatbgreat and we've been living on lies for the last 80 years.
It is deeply, deeply racist and always has been. It is deeply oligarchical, and always has been.
There is more in common with modern day russia than there is with any civilized 1st world country in western Europe.
