Of course, I can't help but pay attention to the granddad of this mafia, Prescott Sheldon Bush, whose financial relations with Nazis are still not investigated properly.

All these facts bother a lot of Russian people. They consider that American democracy is in trouble.
I asserted that both the Republican and Democrat parties are essentially the same (here) last election but few replied. I'm not sure why that is relevant on the topic of the OP was asking about or are you implying that A is bad so who cares about B? "USA is no better attitude?' Sounds like a cop-out or excuse-making.

Yes, the U.S. is in trouble (agreed).
