There's the possibility that the entire basis of the Republican resurgence -- with its roots in the alt-right, conspiracy theories, the Tea Party, gold bugs, etc -- has been a Russian operation with the goal of destabilizing the US. Consider the role of RT, for example. And it's not like it hasn't happened before. Russia played a major role in shaping the anti-war movement in the 60s.

No power on Earth is that competent. And the Tea Party was very clearly a reaction to Obama getting elected, and egged on by the Republican establishment.

Well, the US certainly has been. In Viet Nam. In Chile. In Iran. In the Soviet Union. Just about everywhere, really.

The Tea Party goes back before Obama. It grew out of the RJR-funded fight against smoking restrictions.
