Not coincidentally, I view the Russian people in much the same way I view Trumpsters.For weeks I’ve maintained it was a return to the Soviet Union. Especially when the disputed regions decided to declare themselves Peoples Republics.
Well all doubts are gone. The Soviets are back. Ukrainian people are targeted now. For the crime of electing a man to the leadership who believes in freedom and independence from the Soviet Daddy in Putin.
When Russia invaded. I said Cold War 2.0 had started. Well it’s going to get worse. Putin is the new Totalitarian Threat to World Peace. And we must respond.
When I was a boy. We had the attitude that the only good Russian, was a dead Russian. That attitude will be making a comeback. And Putin is starting World War 3. Our Nuclear Forces must be read to make as many good Russians as possible.
They believe Putin's words, no matter how ridiculous and blatantly dishonest they are to everyone else. They have their own closed informational system that feeds them completely distorted and one-sided information, 24/7/365, telling them that it's "patriotic".
The obvious difference is that Trumpsters have far more access to the outside world. They're making more of a choice to actively avoid contrary information. But in some ways, both groups are victims of being manipulated by propaganda, provided by voices they trust, in their world.
