We should understand that Russia gave us a hoax and that you know the attacks on Donald Trump's presidency were equally attacks on any political force that might want to emerge in opposition to the neoliberal state. This doesn't mean that we have to support Donald Trump we shouldn't but it does mean that we shouldn't consider any enemy of Donald Trump to be our friends.
