The Republican party has been compromised by Russia

Is this an unpopular opinion?

Here? No. Reddit? Maybe. Facebook? Probably. Truth Social? Yes.

Unpopular facts....

Dude it's called unpopular opinion not factual statements

Came here to say basically the same thing. GOP now stands for Groupies of Putin.

This post would have done better in 2015

Unpopular opinion: water is wet.

My unpopular opinion: I like food

Bait post

That's exactly what it is. It should be downvoted into oblivion (even though it's likely true). It's a weird form of karma whoring in a community which should be smart enough to not encourage the behavior
- Welcome to humanity.

And Israel, and corporate lobbies (fossil fuels, pharma, privatized healthcare/prisons/education etc), and homophobes, and white supremacists, and the hyper religious who want to remove separation of church and state, and... To be fair, some of those apply to both major political parties, but the Republicans in particular seem to be hell-bent on compromising themselves. And let's not leave out that they decided (by a large margin) that their "best" candidate is a fraudulent insurrectionist sex offender who has publicly stated his desire to be dictator.

Let's not forget all of those who should be politically neutral from the low level staff in the DOJ up to SCOTUS. I hope the majority just do their job without political tilt, but that line is absolutely being blurred. I'm sure many people will start pointing to Thomas as an example, not a cautionary tale.

Is this post part of a meta trend of making obvious statements as though they were unpopular opinions?

It's going to turn to r/unpopularopinion with at best an interesting but reasonable take and at worse a very mundane agreeable opinion.

That's not an opinion it's facts.

Facts. This is just facts. Not even unpopular facts really, maybe something most people don't realize.

Yeah, no, this isn't exactly unpopular on the majority of Lemmy lmao. With how reductive the Republican party is being, particularly towards foreign policy, I wouldn't put backdoor deals out of the question. HOWEVER, there is no physical proof that they aren't just aggressively trying to isolate America for their own America first reasons. Perhaps it is explained by Hanlon's razor for all we know

For decades now.
