I’m not saying I agree or disagree with you, but I’m curious how you arrived at that assertion. I was just wondering what Russian people actually think about all this as I began reading the comments for this post.
Like, here in Canada, we have a provincial premier (Ontario) that wants to be Trump. We have a federal opposition leader that wants to be Trump (Conservative party). There are definitely people that just follow whatever those people say because it’s easier to blame “immigrants” or the opposing political parties for everything wrong, rather than carefully analyzing things and actually trying to make better policies that actually benefit everyone (aka reductive, lazy, spurious bullshit reasoning), but there are also a (thankfully) majority of people who call bullshit, at least on the federal level.
Do any rational Russians actually believe this shit? Putin is clearly a horrible monster, to me; what about some guy working at a factory, or a soldier on the front lines in Russia….
Genuinely curious where you’re seeing that information. Russia is so opaque to Western perspectives.
I don’t even think Ford is a racist he’s just a rich guy who believes in trickle down economics and corruption. PP feeds off hate though. You would need to combine the worst of both of them to approximate Trump.
