The average American doesn't really care that much about supposed collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign in 2016; he or she cares about being able to care for the family, earn a good living, having adequate security both national and personal and also enjoying life. Nevertheless, since the election in 2016, the mainstream media and most of the Democrats have been talking about almost nothing else than Russia, Russia, Russia. After all this time, however, there is no evidence of any collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians.
The Trump-Russia bubble replaced the old Obama racism bubble at the time of the election, although there have been many attempts to bring back the old bubble. During Obama's term, everything that happened where someone opposed Obama was labeled "racist". It started almost from day one of the first Obama term. It continued on for eight years. Of course, it soon got to the point where since everything was "racist", nothing was really "racist". Once President Trump took office, most things he did were labeled racist as well. After all, the inhabitants of this bubble think Trump is an unrepentant white supremacist who wants to get rid of all non-whites in America. There may be no facts to back up this view, but it doesn't stop these people from spouting that view anyway. Just think of an idiot like Joy Ann Reid on MSNBC for whom every event is proof of racism in the USA and with President Trump in particular. Her views are silly, but she has a loyal following nevertheless.
But back to the current bubble. Can it really be that absent any proof, millions of people still think there was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia? Just think of the reaction to the firing of Rex Tillerson. When Tillerson was named Secretary of State, the bubblers told us that President Trump picked Tillerson as a favor to Vladimir Putin. Trump was paying back Putin for his help in the election. That was silly enough, but these same people told us that when Trump fired Tillerson, it was as a favor to Vladimir Putin. Trump was paying back Putin for his help in the election. The observer with any common sense would understand that it cannot be both ways; either Tillerson was a favorite of Putin's or Putin wanted him gone, not both. Of course, there were some who when faced with this logic came up with yet another solution: Putin had Trump fire Tillerson in order to make it look like Putin had no control over Trump.
This last argument is getting to the point where even people living in the bubble ought to understand how ridiculous it is. In many ways, it's like the Washington DC city councilman who told the world last week that the recent spate of snowstorms to hit DC were caused by the Rothschild family and other Jews. There's no indication that the councilman was drunk or high when he wrote that, but he backed off quickly enough as the response to his idiocy rolled in.
