I like the people of Ukraine better than I like the Trump voters.

The people of Ukraine recognize reality, Trump voters do not. It's that fucking simple. Trump could bomb the Trump voters and they would blame the Democrats. History is going to be very cruel to the Trump voters.

Signs, shirts, billboards, TV commercials, etc.

It's incredible how stupid they have been and still are. I can find nothing in history that compares to it.

, but reality is plenty of Ukrainians would be tRump voters and every bit as destructively and hatefully stupid if they lived here. There are a lot of social conservatives in any society, after all, and bigotry's long and famously entrenched in Eastern European cultures.

Ukrainians are mostly united in fighting an external enemy for their nation's survival, awesomely and admirably. While here our conservatives are a bunch of despicable idiots trashing their own nation to defeat their own people.

Fwiw, we'd see most of our conservatives join us to fight the external threat also if a much larger Russia were invading all along our western, eastern and northern borders. In fact, the appalling conservative capacity for fear-driven hates was mostly focused against the external Russian menace until the end of the Cold War eliminated it, when they turned it internally.

Trump could bomb Trump voters himself and tell them it was the Democrats bombing them and they would believe it. If Trump was president still, he could tell his voters Ukraine attacked Russia and they would believe it. Trump voters are the dumbest people in the history of mankind. That is a fact.

Russia was encircling us. I think after bombardment of a few of our major cities that'd get through even to them, though.

They can be deceived about the virus because it's invisible, most carriers are able to deny any possibility, and after raging for 2 years it's still "only" killed 1 in every 300 Americans.

Oh, and of course also because they want to be deceived. TRump-enablers join all the rest of the dumbest in human history. Speaking of Hillary derangement, I heard Putin's put sanctions on her nonexistent holdings in Russia. (Or ARE they?!)

...to be their actual President. I'd say they don't have quite as many regressive morons as we do, although I'm sure they have some.

Majority liberal ideals powered their 2014 revolution and transition to a western liberal democracy. Before that, conservatism and the corrupt through-and-through government they had.

Liberalism once consistently dominated our government and still is the majority orientation.

Unfortunately, more than just a majority of us have to vote to put liberals in charge or the nation defaults to regressives incapable of running any nation anywhere but into the ground.

That is a fact. I can find nothing in history that compares to that level of stupidity. Any young student, child ,can get on line and learn the election was not stolen. It's really easy. Trump voters cannot do what young children can do.
