It's almost like reincarnation

"I think not. Putin is a well educated. He is meticulous. He is seen by
his people as not being corrupt. His rise in the KGB occurred at a
time when corruption was rampant. He has not enriched himself through
government. He is a nationalist. He is not PC. He is not woke. Putin
is eff'n smart and a strategist. If I were a Russian, I would love him.

This is not a negative turning point for Putin. Quite the
contrary. Putin will be more popular than ever and have a better world
standing than say, the illegitimate resident Biden or Trudeau or
Macron or Scholz end even mask and shutdown vacillating Boris Johnson.

And I typed a reply to that, but I think it's worthy of a post here too.

"If I were a Russian, I would love him"

If ConservativeInPA lived in Germany in 1933, he would gladly be at the front of the rally with his right arm as far out as he could extend it while saying "Does he see me? Does he see me?"

If ConservativeInPA lived in Pakistan during the 1980s, he would be a proud supporter of Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq. He would be the one cheering on the then-new blasphemy law that would be then be used to settle personal disputes.

If ConservativeInPA lived in Chile during the Pinochet regime, he'd be in Colonia Dignidad electrocuting dissidents and people who wandered too close to the cult compound.

If ConservativeInPA lived in Jonestown, he'd be the one shooting at Jackie Speier or handing out the flavor-ade.

If ConservativeInPA lived during witch-hunts, he would be the one doing the most furious dunking of the accused witches and the first one to light the fires.

And the scariest thing here is this isn't a fringe belief now, we know ConservativeInPA isn't an isolated case, this is the BASE of Trump-Republican thought now.
