> One side is CLEARLY delusional. Fueled by conspiracy theories and lies.

Which set of conspiracy theories? The crazy ones that Trump was a Russian asset and everything surrounding that nutbaggery for four years?

How about the current nutbaggery from the other extreme that this election was stollen through voting machine manipulation, ballot stuffing, discarded Trump ballots by postal workers, etc.

It's hard for me to get upset at either side when it all looks so insane.

We'll call it nutbaggery as soon as you explain why Trump's campaign manager was caught funneling internal campaign data to a Russian intel officer during the 2016 election [1], while they were busy hacking Trump's opponent's party, and sending spies to meet with Trump's son and son in law at Trump's house (meeting which they welcomed enthusiastically, they lied about, and did not report to the FBI) [2].

[1]: Senate Intelligence Committee report on Russian interference in the 2016 United States presidential election, Volume V.

[2]: Report On The Investigation Into Russian Interference In The 2016 Presidential Election, Volume I.

> The Senate Intelligence Committee assessed that Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort's "high-level access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the Russian intelligence services" was a "grave counterintelligence threat".[15] The foremost individual was Manafort's employee Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian.[15] The committee identified Kilimnik as a "Russian intelligence officer"; describing that Manafort and Kilimnik had a "close and lasting relationship" even through the 2016 election.[18] Manafort repeatedly tried to "secretly share internal Campaign information with Kilimnik", including "sensitive internal polling data or Campaign strategy".[18]

> The Senate Intelligence Committee introduced a new allegation regarding Kilimnik, that he "may have been connected" to the Russian military intelligence's hack and leak of Democratic Party material. However, the report's discussions on this topic are redacted.[19] Manafort's connection with the Russian hack and leak operation is "largely unknown", but possible, given "two pieces of information" the committee found; the details of such information were also redacted.[18]

BTW, this report was released by Senate Republicans. As soon as this matter is cleared up, you can call it nutbaggery.

It's plain Trump admires Putin, and even fell in love with Kim Il-Sung. You can't box in that person as a normal human being, but have to see past the appearances what he truly aspires too. More and more people realize this now, but many of us have revealed this for many years already. Especially past victims will tell you horror-stories. What happened now was to be expected, and worse.
