Are the sins of Russia the same as the sins of Radical Right?

There appears to be much in common with the allegations of Russian attempts to weaken the US and what the Radical Right has been doing.

  • Voter supression
  • Fake news, leaks
  • Encouraging sessesion
  • Weaponizing social media

It makes one wonder if there is collusion, or an accidental common behaviors. I wonder if Putin and the other cleoptocrats are not that much different than the Koch's.

Studying the Russian attempts to weaken the U.S. may awaken people to the Radical Right's attempts to do the same thing, with similar ends.

Thom's Blog Is On the Move

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen and The Impossible Will Take a Little While
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
Peter Coyote, Actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall
