socialism = Russia, right? And Russia and Putin are now are biggest, bestest buddies, right? (sarcasm). Seriously, I would love to have someone explain to me how the Republicans have been able to get their brainwashed followers to accept Russia as our “friends” - while demonizing every American institution - despite how many years of “Russia/commies are bad” messaging. How they pulled this switch off, I’ll never understand.
