This goes way beyond Putin. It’s an entire worldview being promoted by our evil leaders.
All you have to do is look at how our leaders talk about the religiosity and opposition to both mass immigration and LGBT crap, that is prevalent throughout Eastern European countries.
They frown and wag their fingers at it, and warn about the rise of neo fascism.....while sowing confusion by acting like the protectors of these same countries.
But go ahead and keep staring at trees real close, so that you don’t notice the forest. Our evil leaders are counting on 99 out of 100 Americans doing the same. It’s how they got away with the COVID tyranny.
