    The way liberals always jump to blaming foreigners for political problems in the US is both absurd and, honestly, kind of fascist.

      True, but I think the article is meant as more sort of like a “how can they (the GOP) be so stupid?” type of thing.

        The article still presents the Chinese conspiracy as being a legitimate possibility - it reeks of Orientalism.

          I didn’t even consider the possibility that people would consider Republicans to be literally the result of a Chinese plot (although there was open Russian intervention on Trump’s side). But I suppose it is entirely possible people would read things this and come to that conclusion.

      It’s like if one is dependent on a person with a personality disorder for a length of time, one ends up behaving as a person with a personality disorder. Keep not addressing the wounds and doing the shadow work, that becomes a full -blown personality disorder.
