The real battle is actually between Autocracy and Democracy. China and Russia are spending a lot of money to destabilize the United States. Create a power vacuum, then step into it. Their wet dream is to cultivate a situation where it becomes extreme left borderline secular communists vs extreme right borderline Evangelical Fascists. Which, honestly, they almost have at this point. They are running an online social media meme machine that is turning the US against itself.
One of Putin's favorite contemporary political philosophers literally wrote a book about how to accomplish this back in the late 90s. It was called Foundations of Geopolitics.
en.wikipedia.org
Just read a synopsis of what they thought their goals should be going forward. It's very shocking to see how much they've accomplished.
---------------------
In
Foundations of Geopolitics, Dugin calls for the United States and
Atlanticism to lose their influence in
Eurasia and for Russia to rebuild its influence through annexations and alliances.
[2]
The book declares that "the battle for the world rule of Russians" has not ended and Russia remains "the staging area of a new anti-bourgeois,
anti-American revolution". The Eurasian Empire will be constructed "on the fundamental principle of the common enemy: the rejection of
Atlanticism, strategic control of the USA, and the refusal to allow
liberal values to dominate us."
[9]
Military operations play relatively little role. The textbook advocates a sophisticated program of subversion, destabilization, and disinformation spearheaded by the Russian special services. The operations should be assisted by a tough, hard-headed utilization of Russia's gas, oil, and natural resources to bully and pressure other countries.
[9]
The book states that "the maximum task [of the future] is the '
Finlandization' of all of Europe".
[9]
And then they mentioned specific goals in Europe. Two of which they actually have either accomplished or are working strongly to accomplish:
U
nited Kingdom, merely described as an "extraterritorial floating base of the U.S.", should be cut off from Europe.
[9]
Ukraine should be annexed by Russia because "Ukraine as a state has no geopolitical meaning, no particular cultural import or universal significance, no geographic uniqueness, no ethnic exclusiveness, its certain territorial ambitions represents an enormous danger for all of Eurasia and, without resolving the Ukrainian problem, it is in general senseless to speak about continental politics". Ukraine should not be allowed to remain independent, unless it is
cordon sanitaire, which would be inadmissible.
[9]
In the Middle East and Central Asia:
The book emphasizes that Russia must spread anti-Americanism everywhere: "the main 'scapegoat' will be precisely the U.S."
In the United States:
- Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists". Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics".[9]

Any of that sound familiar? With the advent of social media, a beachhead into the social fabric of the US was created by hostile foreign psyops and we have what we have. And this isn't speculation, the Republican-controlled senate released an in depth report about this a few years ago describing how Americans are falling victim to disinformation in droves via consumption of dodgy internet information sources.
So as you can see, most of you are a bunch of fools that are unwittingly destroying the country from the inside out. You think the evil liberals/conservatives are your enemy. They aren't. They just disagree with you. The real enemy is sitting at a computer in Beijing or St Petersburg trying to inflame the masses with propaganda. And succeeding wildly. Both political parties are broken, as is the de facto two-party system that allowed such a dichotomy to be created in the first place.
This is also why I am joining the Forward Party with Andrew Yang as soon as Pennsylvania recognizes them as a party. Dude remains the only politician in the US that gets it. I want to hard check out of the current US political paradigm really badly. It's fruitless and serves little purpose for actually moving forward. It's just tribalistic nonsense
