    Putin would like to thank you for helping divide your own country.

      Devout allegiance to your government is a virtue. There you have it guys. Nazi Germany here we come.

        I don’t have devout allegiance to any government. Why the strawman?

          Straw man, youre implying my preexisting discontent with the United States is a manipulation by putin. You’re also implying that I should forgo my own morals to uphold an unjust system for the sake of the system alone.

          I am an American. America is my home. We are taught that civil discourse, democracy, and holding your government to account is as American as apple pie. Putin might capitalize on the rights zealotry but that does not mean we give into their warped mortality for the sake of maintaining the union.
