A Question For Deplorables & Repugs....

Hey - we're talking Russia and Russians here people. They've been our sworn enemies for decades. Why are you now embracing Russia and Russians now?

Has 45Pee conned you into believing that they are now your friends?

You were on board with 45Pee & the Repugs damning Bernie for being a 'socialist' but now you are embracing the 'Commie' Russians. I just don't get it?

those filthy repigs will embrace Putin, will it come to Putin coming to Congress for a visit????? That would be interesting wouldn't it? If 45 will embrace the thought. Scary.

authoritative thinking to which some are predisposed, and it's been exploited by republicans for years.

Obviously Putin has communism in his background, but, well that era ended a while ago. And Communism, despite having it's own arguably worse problems compared to capitalism, is clearly anti-capitalist. So possibly its a if you aren't against us you are for us in the struggle against Communism.

But I'm almost certainly giving them more credit than they deserve.

I don't think the herd of misguided idiots here in the US has suddenly developed some kind of appreciation for Russian culture or feelings of solidarity with the Russian people--but they do like "strong" (not to mention white) authority figures, and they see Putin as a shining example of how a leader should be...and as a key figure in maintaining white power/privilege on a global scale.

Personally, I do actually appreciate many aspects of Russian culture and am a big fan of numerous Russian people...I'm not a fan of oligarchs, fascists, and criminals lording it over the people anywhere on the planet. I don't think the American people should feel that they are at odds with the Russian people. We common people all need to assert our basic natural rights, and resist the fascist criminals in solidarity with one another.

They are spamming the comments section on facebook of news outlets with Trash Dove stickers all day yesterday. It's the most bizarre thing I've seen. Now they are just parroting Trumps crazy tweets.
