Maher pointed out tonight that Republicans are more upset when Trump

3. Saying Putin is a fascist, is like calling...

...an Iranian and Arab. The latter will get you into the hospital fast, and the former, if uttered in Russia will get you six feet under. "The Great Patriotic War" is well defined in Russian minds.

Putin is however a corrupt autocrat under the camouflage of legitimacy of the Duma...which was severely hampered in power no thanks to Yeltsin and our support of him vs. the democratic process and the Duma. Putin has even gone on record as stating he views Tsar Nicholas II and Secretary General Gorbachev as autocratic failures for not holding on to power.

However, Putin is exploiting fascist tendencies of Republicans to the detriment of the country. He's helping fascists in our country hurt themselves....and we're being dragged down with them by association.
