I blame Ronald Reagan. People think when he implored Gorbachev to “tear down that wall” that the US had penetrated the Soviet Union. We didn’t it fell apart and oligarchs seized power like warlords do. Now we have an autocratic regime that vehemently and violently crushes diversions to its goal of unlimited power. The same goal that the Republicans have.
