@poipoipoi-2016:

So what just happened with Trump?

I seem to have missed the good bits.

The news of the night is Jeff Sessions lied about the nature of his conversations with Sergei Kislyak, but this post is about the whole elephant.

As I said to @deusvulture, I think most people don’t know why they should care about the issue and why they should care if the facts are sufficient to support the pleaded claims.

Everyone on Tumblr, from reactionaries to conservatives to libertarians to liberals to the left seems to have the same indifference to the issue, and it mystifies me.  I don’t know enough to write an airtight account of the controversy, but no one else seems to know the stakes at play.

I know that the stakes are pretty high, but everyone else seems to think that there are no stakes at all.

Conservatives and others on the right have down-prioritized it because they thought the whole Trump-Russia thing was bullsht.

Probably doesn’t help that Hillary seemed hyped for war in Syria, which could have lead to war with Russia, both of which are pretty terrible.
