Feb 2023

a. Putin has filled the cyber space and airwaves and cable outlets with disinformation for over a decade now
b. Putin and his henchmen have paid off the GCCP here for many many years.
c. They love authoritarian figures...
d. Putin has his church singing his praises, and in return, Putin has clamped down on gays, trans, etc. The RWNJ love this.
e. They oppose anything the "left" supports.. even if it means their own enslavement.
