Right-wingers are have long since taken refuge in the hermetically sealed Conservative Cinematic Universe.

Reality, and the people living in it, are irrelevant to them:

You're missing that it's been the United States of russia for 12+ months:

Since we're currently experiencing Robert's prediction... Here's reposting an ol' evergreen, pointing out the dysfunctional and utterly broken state of the US access-focused mediasphere:

Why would the GOP care what's popular. That doesn't matter if they can manipulate the voting system enough.

Republican Attacks on Robert Mueller Are Absurd. But the GOP Has Been Lawless for Decades. From Vietnam to Watergate, Iran-Contra and the Clinton impeachment, the Republican Party has proved itself an awesome force of lawlessness.

What's funny is when that old KGB asshole became a refugee in the US he allied with the GOPniks that currently are employing these same methods and have been doing so since the founding of FOX News...

The party literally established the Conservative Cinematic Universe, which we're all living in now

More like "social" media: It's mostly one-way communication now and unfortunately has become a tool for old ruskie cold war tactics:

The entire GOP needs to go to prison.

Every. Single. Representative.

Of course they do.

Everyone (except possibly the American voting public...) expected and predicted as much:

The DOGE cuts to USAID and other programs are causing mass death, and yet the debt is still shattering records.

It's the United States of russia now - See the term "vranyo" and how it explains conservative talking points in the past 33+ years... www.brookings.edu/articles/how...

Lets start with something that should've been done half a decade(+) ago: Putting GOPniks in prison.

Well, that's basically what "social" media is now: Demoralization.

It was actually an old ruskie plan from the '60s-'70s, that just fit modern technology like a glove... Only weird thing was this ol' KGB scumbag allying himself with the GOPniks that currently are acting as Kremlin's tools in the US

Also see: "Economic anxiety"

The usual procedure of US media justifying and whitewashing conservative disinformation and delusions.

Oh, absolutely!

In a just world, with an actually functional "Fourth Estate" in the US, it would be.

Unfortunately that is something US mainstream media simply hasn't been capable of, for the past ~40 years.

It's first instinct is ALWAYS to submissively nod, whitewash and signal-boost rightwing talking points...

^This.

Along with the rest if the global populist right-wing, which is why russia so relentlessly has supported and signal-boosted it for the past ~20 years: Right-wing austerity, prejudice and ignorance are a cancer upon Western society and democracy.

Why make a sitcom out of russian online talking points...?

Especially considering russia itself is a pretty bleak, albeit funny (in a morbid way), parody already.

It doesn't really matter what [generic Democrat] does or does not do: The GOPnik court jesters that is the de facto US mediasphere (remember when they circled the wagons around FOX "News"...?) will simply drum up some delusion to hound them for and the nation will, as always, eat it all up.

Nah, that goes for the entire vocation:
Publicly crucifying Walter Mondale for a funny photo was a victory, a mark of strength and dominance.

Holding Richard Nixon responsible for his crimes was regrettable, an insensitive zealousness that fortunately has been cleared from the profession.
