Many friends will disagree with me here but I think the analyses or memes that imply: 1. Trump is Russia double agent 2. Trump is paid by Russia 3. Trump is blackmailed by Russia are not only wrong and implausible (ok 3rd one may be a little plausible but unlikely), they are also desperate. These narratives have been pushed to public since 2016 by neolib think tanks with zero proof or even logic. Main reason is to shift the blame of horrible Dem strategies towards a nefarious foreign force, as if US isn't capable of electing a self-absorbed, far right, genocidal man unless manipulated or interfered. This doesn't mean foreign powers don't wish or even succeed influencing Trump, but they're on the same playing field (except Israel ofc but that's a American colony so it doesn't apply).

It doesn't really matter that much if he actually got recruited by the KGB or what in fact happened, it matters that he effectively acts like a Russian asset.

I don't object the claims that stop there. I object the conspiracy theories because they absolve other parties from the responsibility for the failure of US democracy
