Putin succeeded in locking down Russia long before Covid or anything like that...You control the media and take advantage of people's insecurities enough, and they will eventually cling to the state and overlook all the leader's faults. (Doesn't help that USA and "the West" have been so prone to secular disarray...making rainbow flags the new emblem of 'freedom.')

Let's pray and hope that the Corona-induced statist mentality doesn't stick in Leftist-Led states like California...That's the real virus to be weary of...

Russia is ruled by the government not the people.

EXACTLY what the Left wants for America.

Vladimir Putin, who was first elected president in 2000, has been all but handed the opportunity to remain in office until 2036.

That is exceedingly stupid on many counts.

“All we have is Putin,”

Yes, my BunnyBushka — he has made sure of that.

This is exactly the result that which ever communist is elected VP in Nov will strive for as soon as she replaces Joe Dementia...

If Trump is Orange Man, what is Putin?

Urban liberals’ whinge is stupid.
What do they want? LGBTQ & BLM? Or supreme court justice for life Ginsberg and John Roberts?
