The Right has developed a mass-psychology of in-vogue conspiracy theory propagation. They brainlessly seek to promote the wildest and most absurd stories in the hopes that their own will believe them, and they give little thought to the sieve of possibilities and the probabilities attached to each of those possibilities -- even if these latter are not easily measured and might be subjective probabilities.
But it would be only logical to suspect the motives of Putin and his minions. You can call those motives conspiracies, or you can call them strategies. And in the sieve of possibilities, it's not unreasonable to suspect that the GRU cultivated corrupt Ukrainians attached to Burisma and midwifed the placement of a naïve Hunter Biden on the company's board. Get him in; pay him excessively; let him get out; then spin the story for a future -- now current -- smear of the former Vice-President as fodder that fuels the Trumpers who want to believe anything nefarious about Democratic influentials.
The Russians had difficulties with Obama -- a testament to Obama's competence as a leader. They had a hard-on for Hillary, the vanguard of Obama policies dealing with the Russians. They don't have much in the way of difficulty with Trump. And let's face it: the evidence will eventually turn up that they "have something" on Trump. So it doesn't matter if he seems like a loose cannon -- their objective is to sow chaos anyway. Ultimately, though, they have a rein on that artillery.
There comes a time when we must admit that damage will be done no matter what, primarily because so many Americans suffer from rectal-in-ear inversion -- their asshole surgically connected to their brain so that they just continue having so many shitty thoughts about the political opposition. They enrage themselves because deep, deep down inside themselves, they cannot abide by the thought that the Democrats just may be correct or right about some things some of the time, other things all of the time, and wrong about a few things some of the time.
