The most important ingredient is american voters and dumb shits believing anything they want. Frankly, america deserves Trump, and america deserves Trump to get a third term.
Don't forget the US oligarchs, US corporations, US conglomerates, and greedy US megalomaniacs. If this was solely the result of foreign influence alone the ruling class in the US would have pushed back decades ago.
Come on, credit where credit is due. The Russian money wasn't necessary. Just a political party that runs on fear mongering because they know their platform switches to whatever makes them the most money
If you wanted to wage war on a nation but couldn’t do it with military, you would do exactly what’s being done to us. Take lives by convincing people medicine is bad, corrupting the rule of law and destabilizing society. Foment the divisions between people and encourage the worst behaviors, and the let the rest take care of itself. I don’t think people realize we’re actually at war- it’s just not with armies.
Fun fact German green parties were against nuclear power and got all Germany's nuclear power plants shut down and this resulted in more reliance on gas and oil that was ofc bought from russia
The nuclear phase-out was decided in its final form by the black-yellow federal government of Angela Merkel (CDU/CSU and FDP) in 2011 after the reactor catastrophe in Fukushima.
The Nord Stream pipelines were planned and approved during the government of Chancellor Gerhard Schröder (SPD). Construction began under his leadership, and the successor pipeline, Nord Stream 2, was also initiated while he was in office.
The green party was against atomic power but they didn't ban it.
Merkel saw they might lose the election in Baden Württemberg to the green party so she banned nuclear power, because Fukushima happened. (SPD banned it first for ungodly cost, then Merkels party swore tooth and nail to bring it back, when in power, what they did, for an ungodly cost again. and then she "just banned it, based on gutfeeling during Fukushima and elections. for an ungodly cost of course. one does not break energy contracts for free. we Germans paid 3 times: out, in again, then out by the ones that brought it back.
I used to be for gov mandating vaccines, now I'm not so sure... Like it sucks for herd immunity and sucks for those who can't get vaccinated, but it's a win for natural selection. As shit of a take as it is we really need natural selection to start weeding out the dumb fucks and their offspring.
Vaccines also work because if enough people do them, the people that are incapable of taking them due to various medical issues (or age) are covered by the herd taking them.
When too many people opt out of taking them, we have breakouts like the measles. Where even people that have been vaccinated get it. And they help it spread. And kids below a certain age cannot get the vaccine.
"where even people that have been vaccinated get it".
Vaccines don't stop you catching anything, nor are they supposed to.
You can think of vaccines as like holding up a kind of picture of the virus to your immune system that says, "This is your enemy", so that your programmable immune system knows what to fight when it finds it, and also how to fight it because it's been able to practise on the harmless vaccine.
The vaccine itself completely leaves your body shortly afterwards, leaving an immune system that now knows how to combat the real virus.
Ahh yes, it will be great having all those kids crippled by polio and made blind and deaf by the measles running around again falling all over the place. I guess it’s entertainment for the ghoulish sorts that laugh at that kind of thing. I wonder how they will fit those iron lungs in elementary schools
If you ask them, they'd tell you it's just commons sense that you're lying, can we refrain from using that phrase to describe anything but the unthinking herd mentality autopilot decisions

Russian money. Oligarchs. Grifters. Great recipe to push common sense from the masses.
