They've been airing FoxNews on the military bases for years, too. The pro-defense/pro-military legacy of the GOP is hard to shake, as is the legacy of war protests on the left. There is a history there. But things have changed and the sooner people recognize it the better.

There was a recent Jordan Klepper clip where he's at some MAGA gathering and asking people what they think about the Trump felony convictions in NY. One guy he talked to, in his red MAGA hat, really infuriated me. I couldn't even remember what the guy was saying, because I was so fixated on his hat. It had Make America Great Again on it, but it was written in Russian. This is what the GOP is today.

Putin is now the darling of the right wing. He kills his opposition and gets away with it. He did the same thing when he was a Communist KGB operative. Face it. That's what Murdoch's propaganda is telling them. Letting people be free is for pussies. The jack boot is the only way. Even if it's on their necks.

Here's the clip if you want to watch it. It's only about five minutes:

I couldn’t see the MAGA in Russian when i watched the first time on my small screen. That is crazy! I would have loved to hear Jordan question the guy about that!

Thx, but I don't. I'm happy to take your word for it. I wasn't questioning you. I was trying to express exasperation.

I figured. Klepper's stuff is pretty funny, but also slightly soul-crushing.
