I still don't get it.
You stole our election in 2016 and put Trump, aka "Putin's cockholster," in office. You think I'm joking. I'm not. As early as Goebbels, propagandists figured out that if you build an emotional reaction in people based on a lie, once the truth is revealed, the emotional reaction remains. The media spent 2016-2018 making half the country hate Russia with foaming-at-the-mouth intensity as a way of delegitimizing President Trump. When the collusion turned out to be a frame-up job, it didn't change the Pavlovian hate-response half the country has toward anything Russian.
