Russia, Russia, Russia and the left

Russia Mania Is the Birtherism of the Left

Conservatives think the left has lost touch with reality.

...
... the leap from “Trump is too soft on Russia” to “Trump is a compromised Russian agent” is indeed a giant one, and illogical as well. According to the new birthers, the total lack of evidence regarding Trump and his supposed fealty to Russia matters little; instead, only their suspicions and mistrust matter, especially since so many media and political elites still have not recovered from so badly missing the tectonic political shift of the 2016 election. Rather than introspection or discernment regarding their own biases, the chattering class of Acela corridor bigwigs would rather create a myth that the president did not really win, at least not legitimately. The new birthers would rather sell us the lie that the Russians altered the vote to install their man in the Oval Office to do Vladimir’s bidding.

The meme is being pushed by conspiracists on the left such as John Brennan a former communist who converted to Islam.  He seems like a guy not tethered to reality these days.
