Coalition co-founder Scott Dworkin. “McMaster said publicly that Russia needed to face serious consequences for what they’ve done in Syria & for the gas attack in the UK. John Bolton would never say anything like that.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="word-wrap:break-word"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#555555">There are of course many, many, many extremely legitimate reasons to criticize John Bolton, and none of them involve being too soft on Russia. Not only
is he <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_Century" id="LPlnk519248"><span style="color:#3D97C2">a PNAC signatory</span></a> who played a major role in manufacturing the lies that led to the Iraq invasion, but he still <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/john-bolton-no-regrets-about-toppling-saddam/article/2564463" id="LPlnk102674"><span style="color:#3D97C2">insists
that that invasion was a great idea</span></a>.

his personal behavior toward people he’s worked with indicate that he is in all likelihood an actual, literal psychopath.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="word-wrap:break-word"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#555555">But Democratic opposition to Bolton, even when it doesn’t get sucked up into idiotic Russia conspiracy theory, appears to be receiving a relatively lukewarm
response from mainstream America. It certainly isn’t attracting the urgent attention it should be, and certainly isn’t eliciting the level of viral interest as a new “bombshell” Russiagate revelation. And why should it? Propagandists have been pacing rank-and-file
Democrats into embracing Iraq-raping Bush-era neocons for more than a year now.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="word-wrap:break-word"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#555555">In addition to Democrats being forced to spend 2016 gaslighting themselves into believing that a warmongering neocon who supported the Iraq war would
make a great First Female President, they have also been manipulated by the cult of blind anti-Trumpism into accepting neoconservative death worshippers like Bill Kristol, David Frum and Max Boot into their #Resistance fold.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="word-wrap:break-word"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#555555">“One of the most amazing outcomes of the Trump administration is the number of neo-conservatives that are now my friends and I am aligned with,” MSNBC
pundit Joy Reid <a href="http://www.vulture.com/2017/09/joy-reid-wants-to-argue-with-you.html" id="LPlnk569518"><span style="color:#3D97C2">openly admitted</span></a> in an interview last year. “I found myself agreeing on a panel with Bill Kristol. I agree
more with Jennifer Rubin, David Frum, and Max Boot than I do with some people on the far left. I am shocked at the way that Donald Trump has brought people together.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="word-wrap:break-word"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#555555">Just as Bolton has cozied up to the Trump crowd by disguising his brazen neoconservative globalism as libertarian-leaning nationalism, neocons like Frum,
Boot and Kristol who helped decimate Iraq have been cozying up to mainstream Democrats by <a href="https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/iraq-raping-neocons-are-suddenly-posing-as-woke-progressives-to-gain-support-289fa527f3f8" id="LPlnk774404"><span style="color:#3D97C2">posing
as woke progressives</span></a>, and now they’re in like Flynn. Dems had to stretch and compartmentalize their thinking to accommodate the other Bush-era neocons, and <a href="https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/the-real-reason-democrats-love-bush-now-a423db50eceb" id="LPlnk795974"><span style="color:#3D97C2">even
Bush himself to a large extent</span></a>, so why would a few experts saying “Uh seriously this Bolton guy is deeply terrifying” have any influence over them? They already had to gaslight themselves into believing the bloodshed caused by neoconservatism is
fine.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="word-wrap:break-word"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#555555">So the American mainstream has been successfully manipulated on both sides of the artificial political divide into supporting vestigial Bush neocons,
with #TheResistance proudly retweeting depraved death cultists like Bill Kristol while <a href="https://twitter.com/Cernovich/status/976965585627041792" id="LPlnk89206"><span style="color:#3D97C2">a majority of the #MAGA crowd</span></a> support Trump’s elevation
of Bolton, and now there’s no one left but us homeless nonpartisans to point and scream about where this all seems to be headed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="word-wrap:break-word"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#555555">Partisan hack Trump supporters are worthless. Partisan hack Democrats are equally worthless. Only those who have awakened from the relentless barrage
of mass media psy-ops and seen beyond the fake uni-party trap can see what’s going on. It’s up to us to awaken everyone else.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
