Heck, Trump pulling us out of the open skys treaty does nothing for us but helps Russia. Those moves are why people believe there is some tie there, along with his sons saying they get all their financing from Russia (which all financing in Russia is tied to the Kremlin). By the way, Trump ran on "China Joe" and most adds said he was controlled by China. Whereas you can argue "far-left" and such in terms of the Russian stuff, but the most mainstream messaging from the GOP party during the election was a not so subtle accusation of China controlling Joe Biden.
Have you really not heard about this?

I don't think Biden is in China's pocket, but he will absolutely be friendlier towards them than Trump was. Trump being friendlier to Russia than Obama was all many needed to put him in Putin's pocket. This is exactly why I stated originally that these types of tropes are banal, and they cut both ways.
Quote:As of right now, Trump is the GOP as seen by the signing on to the Texas lawsuit last week. He is actively tearing it apart and a reckoning will be coming soon of those who want to be the Trump party and those who want to be Republicans. It won't end with Donald, the kids are going to carry this thing on for decades.
I'm still standing by my assessment that once Trump is out Trumpism will be as well. They'll do what they have to do to maintain their hold on those voters, but that won't honestly take much given the alternative.
