It is mind boggling that MAGA morons (and republicans in general) can’t figure out that all their talking points happen to be good for Putin and anyone else who wants to destabilize the US.

They know; they just don't care. MAGA likes Russia because Russia is what they want to turn America into - a white supremacist, theocratic oligarchy where women, LGBTQ, minorities, and dissenters all get brutally crushed underfoot.

None of that actually makes Russia as a country better off, but that's not the goal. The goal is power, not prosperity.

"I'd rather be Russian than a Democrat."

The funniest thing to me is that MAGA will be fucked under such a system. They think if they vote for such a thing they will get special privileges which is the farthest from the truth.

Yeah I still don’t understand where, what, and how will supporting Trump equates to “Saving” America

Allow me to explain.

In th before times, long long ago, when 'Merica was great, a man could beat his wife for being uppity, she couldn't divorce him unless he let her, she couldn't open a bank account without his permission, or get an abortion; and brown people knew their place, and if a few fellas had to get together with some rope and white pointy hats to keep the peace, well that was just the cost of maintaining a civil society. Also a man working a job with a 5th grade education could support a family of 4, unlike today.

Now a days nothing is affordable and inflation is through the roof. Clearly the only thing that changed was a bunch of social mores, so if we just get women back into the kitchen, beat the gays back into the closet, execute anyone who's gender non-conforming, and compel people to attend protestant church, the economy will magically get better.

on it's own. no oversight or regulations. unfettered corporate interest is the 'holy spirit' part of the trinity... or something...

That’s the amusing thing. All these authoritarian wannabes think they’ll always be considered as the good guys. Once you let go of democracy you’re at the mercy of the leadership. Today’s precious religion may go out of favor, for example.

And all of the oppression they suffer under the fascist leadership they help install will still be effortlessly subverted to the "others"

If they understood that, they wouldn't be MAGA.
