So as far as actually representing the people goes, those issues are inline with deeply held beliefs of Republican voters.

The economic shit really isn't. Even when it is it's false consciousness..."As a Wallmart worker Republicans benefit me!" (objectively they don't).

Don't expect the same from our politicans. We don't actually live in a Democracy.

Nope.

The only chance Russia would have is if the US invaded via the European Steppes or a nuclear exchange.

There's no guarantee China would join them either.

Even so, the US has plenty of allies as well. We're getting warmer with India every day and they're rivals of China.

Russia talks a big game and their country is massive, but they wouldn't stand a chance. Especially since the US has major bases in nearby Europe.
