Russian bots are now aiding the Republican Party government shutdown by attacking the

Democratic senators who are trying to negotiate a rational agreement.

What are the Russians so afraid of when it comes to the democrats? They were scared to distraction over the possibility that trump might lose the election, thus their election meddling.

Seems they fear the only real Americans left in this country, the democrats and those of like mind. Not surprising really, all despots, dictators and autocrats fear their educated, informed and active populations.

What are they so afraid of, and why is the Republican Party in thrall to Russian government and mafia?
