Forget "Trump Derangement Syndrome": Introducing Russia Derangement Syndrome! (lemmygrad.ml)

If you haven't noticed in recent times, liberals have been accusing the Trump administration and basically anybody who criticizes Biden/Kamala/liberalism of being a Russian agent or puppet! (Or sometimes a Chinese or Iranian puppet, but Russia is the most common)

It can't be the fault of the United States themselves! It can't be that liberal capitalism would eventually degenerate into fascism! It can't be that people are genuinely furious at the government independent of foreign powers!

It's all the Russians!

It's especially infuriating when they accuse leftists (particularly pro-Palestinian activists) of being "just funded by the Russians!" It's like liberals refuse to take responsibility for their own ideology's atrocities and think that their precious liberalism can never be wrong and all the haters are just fake.

Are the Russian bots in the room with us right now?

Liberals are never interested in what people have to say. Anytime we point out their crimes against humanity, they say we're "funded by Russia". Anytime we explain why their talking points are just outright wrong, we're "funded by Russia". Anyone that doesn't conform to their propaganda is a "Russian puppet". Everything that challenges them is "funded by Russia". (Or China or Iran as OP said)

I think they've always refused to take responsibility for their failures, crimes against humanity, and genocides. We saw them use this tactic in the U.S. election last year, that only made them more unpopular and more arrogant. My liberal father would dismiss reasons to not participate in the election as "Russian/Chinese/Iranian propaganda". I had this discussion with him twice and he claimed I was repeating Russian propaganda. I told him the outcome of the election didn't matter and there was no reason to vote in the election.

I've avoided talking to my family about politics and anytime they do I just leave the room because there's no reason to. Anytime they try to talk to me about US Bourgeois politics I just walk away. It's tiring talking to these people.
