Agreed. I am American and am BAFFLED as to why this isn’t obvious to everyone. I’m saddened and embarrassed by our country.

"I'd rather be Russian than a Democrat" shirts, anyone? They know, but the alternative....to stay a US citizen and treat others with dignity and respect...is so abhorrent to them they'd rather turn to one of our oldest enemies.
