It’s very odd — uncanny, even — to watch the Left talk about “traitors” and “patriotism” and such in reference to the alleged Russian hacking in an effort to influence the US elections.

Have I awoken in Crazyland? What is happening here, exactly?

In all my life, I don’t ever recall the Left honoring or caring about patriotism or treason either way. It’s not their typical language or usually even in their sphere of concern. I sometimes have to check to see if I haven’t accidentally strayed onto some loony right-wing sites by accident.

Though I do believe Russian and Russian-affiliated state actors did attempt to influence the election, I strongly doubt it had any determining effect, and if so it was only because Hillary Clinton was such a bad and incredibly weak candidate anyway.

Mostly it seems to me the Dems and the wider Left just cannot and will not take any responsibility at all for the huge cock-up and tragedy they’ve inflicted on our nation and the world. They enabled and supported Clinton — and denigrated anyone who offered a better alternative — so they are just as responsible for Trump as the average Trump voter.

For all that, I blame false prophet sycophants like Kendzior, Krugman and Marcotte (and the entire DNC) who gave us forward path that pointed only backwards, and precluded thus a better future.

That they need a scapegoat like the damn Russian government just makes me even angrier.
