There are left wing freaks who have moved to Russia as well, because they think it's going to go back to Communism.
That article is pure left wing propaganda latching on to a few mentally ill individuals, associating them with MAGA, and trying to paint those who support Donald Trump as "unAmerican," which is laughable coming from the left. |

Which is ~ .0013%, and if you adjust for moves in the past 4 years when MAGA people would move.. it's 5% of that number: 0.000065%. Statistically speaking, zero.

Newsflash: And communism was also collectivistic by teaching and practice where the russian kleptocracy is not now, it was also by party platform and practice secularistic, which russia is not now (they went back to the old state in bed with official state church stuff) and they also did a bunch of stuff in the communist era that made things economically worse than than they are now. Russian does not mean communist. Unlike leftists, I know that words actually mean things. |

Considering this story is right in line with Russian propaganda- even directly from Putin's mouth and advertisements from Russian sources directed at Americans. It seems more likely that this is in fact Russian propaganda, not liberals trying to somehow associate conservatives with Russia which really serves no purpose for them, and sadly conservatives seem to do well enough on their own anyway. I don't think anyone is falling for the part in bold What purpose does it serve for liberals to claim MAGA's are moving to Russia. What purpose does it serve for Russia to claim MAGA's are moving to Russia. (Keeping in mind this is a well established tactic they've used many times before in slightly varying forms). You see how this is essentially the same message right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HK0yl0_PdDY ETA - if your point is that liberals will make fun of idiot MAGA's that move to Russia then sure. The larger point is these handful of fools move to Russia in the first place because they're dumb enough to believe Russian propaganda. It's certainly in line with the Democrat "Russia collusion " nonsense and consistently supports the propaganda they've been doing since 2016 It's also in line with ACTUAL shit I've heard plenty of conservatives say about how christian and conservative Russia is so... Hmmm...one is a line we have seen from elected politicians and media pundits on air for years and the other might be a few morons that you know. Which is more widespread and established? Sad to say it's a lot more than just a few morons. I don't know a single one. I guess you need a better class of friends. Why would you assume they're my friends? Beats me. You said you were in Russia in 2022, how do we know you aren't the Russian mole? There is a war on, doncha know. There wasn't then |

'Christians' idolizing a Communist regime. It's not communist. It's russian. A corrupt oligarchy run by the filthy rich. They aren't what they were in the USSR. The communist system finally collapsed because we stopped supporting it and instead of givng them something like an open market, we (the west) broke up their economy as it was, effectively destroying it, and than ... walked away without helping them become an open market. So the criminals took over and now they have a criminal run economy and politics with a strongman at the top. You know. Russian? As for christian - no, it's not a christian state. They have a state church, the russian orthox, and they pollute and negate it via its involvement in the state (that is how ALL state churches work) meaning it's effectively a non-christian church.
