There is great harm being done to the MAGA movement by Putinists at the moment because they make us all look like fringe crazies because average GOP voters are repulsed by Putinist Russia and its campaign of mass murder in Ukraine. This love affair with Putin will translate into electoral losses for MAGA candidates going forward if it continues.
Yep. This one’s a win for Putin, as it will keep the people who would likely be most effective vs. Putin, not to mention good for our country and our economy, out of office. PDJT being the most prominent.
In some respects (only some) the parallel to the neo-Nazis in Ukraine is remarkable: They are few in number, have almost no power, and are generally detested by ordinary West-leaning Ukes, but the propaganda value of Neo-Nazis is wonderful for Putin.
Here, the fringies (on various subjects, too) are wonderful propaganda value for the very people they (and largely I and I suspect you) oppose. It doesn’t help that we have out and out racists on this board - even more detested by average folks. :-(
