If Putin came on TV and endorsed trump for president

[captain queeg]

Would that shake his followers? I don’t think so. What if he did it in a mocking way, laughing at what a patsy and fool he is? I don’t think that would have much effect. Maybe if Donny got all mad and indignant, but we know dumbo would not dare to cross Putin. It’s really just about that obvious but his followers close their eyes and march on.

1. Putin could take a leak on the headstones at Arlington Cemetery and say "Losers and suckers"...

and there would be 30% of the population who would laugh it up and say "Ownin' the libs".

2. It would increase his approval among the 42%.

Then he could turn around and say Putin never endorsed him and actually did Biden instead and his cult would believe every word. Video evidence means nothing.

3. His Followers WANT Putin to take over. They would rather have a White Russian controlled Country

than what the US is right now and continuing to head towards which is a diverse country that will be majority minority one day. Among the younger ages they are already mostly majority minority (though individually whites still have the largest numbers).

4. Putin did that in Helsinki on live TV.

Trump's cult members wear T-shirts that say " I would rather be a Russian than a Democrat".

Does that answer your question ???

5. Significant, multi-layered point

6. Yeah, what he said...

7. I've seen those t-shirts. It's really sickening.

Ought to have t-shirts that say I’d rather be a democrat than an ignorant traitor, but those folks are a lost cause.
