The Republican love affair with Putin is all about making America white again.

The love affair with Trump is all about making America white again.

They love Putin because Russia is far right and white. They don't recognize what life in Russia is like. A country where you have no rights. Is that worth being all white?

The Republicans, Trump voters hate Democrats because we accept all peoples, races, in America. They call that being a socialist traitor. We are the ones stopping them from making America white again.

The racists of America are so obsessed with making America white again they are willing to lose the most precious gift we have, freedom. Or, they're ignorant of the fact, if you make America white again they would lose their freedoms. You would have to live under a dictatorship in order to make America white again.

1. "white again"?

[Ferrets are Cool]

14. I understand your question

but it's the same as saying "great again". It's stupid on both accounts.

[Thomas Hurt]

16. white again is correct, just not in the literal sense...

but in the power, privilege, the ability to indoctrinate. White culture, christofascist ascendancy returned to America.

The bigots aren't happy they can't discriminate and force people into closets, control the schools and foist their fake christianity on everyone else.

[question everything]

2. Bill Maher said the same thing on Friday

Should find it in the Video Forum

[True Dough]

3. Yes, it is

Republicans fear diversity.

[dlk]

4. It's about whilte, male supremacy - the patriarchy

They don’t support equal right for women in the least.

[fightforfreedom]

7. That's true.

6. The GOP will gladly give up democracy for white christian minority rule.

8. Don't forget this aspect of the RePutincan party:

Both the MAGAT King and Putin are rabid homophobes/transphobes as well.

Trump's homophobia/transphobia is the major attraction for the RePutincan evangelical RW, and has the support of RePutincans everywhere.

Pussy Riot Fined For Trolling Putin With Pride Flags on His Birthday
snip---
ORIGINAL (10/8/2020):

Several members of Pussy Riot were detained this week after trolling Russian President Vladimir Putin with LGBTQ+ Pride flags on his birthday.

On Wednesday, members of the feminist collective and punk rock group decorated several key governmental buildings with rainbow banners as a “gift” for Putin’s 68th birthday. The displays were hung on Russia’s Ministry of Culture, Supreme Court, Federal Security Service, Presidential Executive Office, and the Basmanny District Police Station in Moscow and were discovered at 10 a.m.

Accompanying the demonstration was a list of demands calling on Putin to stop the persecution of LGBTQ+ Russians. Demands include overturning the constitutional ban on marriage equality, repealing a 2013 “propaganda” law, and passing a nationwide bill “that prevents discrimination on the basis of gender and sexual orientation.”

In an Instagram post, Pussy Riot further called on Russia to investigate the continued detention, torture, and killing of LGBTQ+ people in Chechnya. More than 100 people have reportedly been imprisoned in a purge led by Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, and at least three people have died since 2017. Despite international outcry and sanctions from the U.S., the Kremlin has dismissed the reports, referring to them as “provocation.”

9. Agree. The base of motivation.

10. The racists forget that 90% of the FIGHTERS/WINNERS of the Civil War were WHITE.

It's estimated that only 10% of those who fought in that war were Black. It was a white congress that voted in legislation to STOP the ownership of another human being, and all the sick and twisted cultural permissions that comes with that abomination.

And if it comes to it again, that same mentality of white people who fought AND WON the civil war would fight it again, and this time, with the help of their black brothers and sisters. What some call "white allies" from the George Floyd protests, I call true Americans. And I truly believe we're in the vast majority of white people, contrary to what the news would have you believe...keeping us divided.

Us white folks kicked the racists' asses once, and when we join forces with our families of color, we'll shut that shit down once and for all. I'm so sick and tired of small minded racists with big guns and well financed microphones.

[scarletlib]

11. Yes but they think they will be top dogs in this arrangement.

[The Jungle 1]

12. How do we make racism stop?

There is progress but it is way to slow. The racist in the world are growing more powerful again.
How do we make this stop.
I always said it is all about money. A good friend of mine always shook his head and said no it is all about racism. I fear he is correct.

[eppur_se_muova]

13. And conservative Christian. It was Putin's embrace of the Russian Orthodox leaders that appealed ...

... to Republicans of the Culture Wars variety. Never mind that it turned out to be a boa constrictor's hug, they want a leader with "man pants" in charge, who knows that Holy Scripture is inarguable truth (or at least defends the belief whether or not he practices it), and will kill you if you disagree. It's what they would do.

They really don't mind the idea of a dictatorship, as long as it's THEIR dictator -- someone whose attitudes and hatreds they unquestioningly share.

[Mr. Ected]

15. What we're seeing in Ukraine is what Trump/MAGA were imagining for his second term

Take over the military, add a militia group here and there, rile up the rowdies and gear up for war.

Chicago may have been their first battlefield, who knows.

[TexasBushwhacker]

17. Just remind them Russia has no 2nd Amendment

Civilians cannot posses automatic/semi automatic weapons AT ALL.You can even go to jail for possessing a single round of ammunition for an AR.

You must apply for and be approved for a license to own ANY firearm, even shotguns and hunting rifles.

[Samrob]

18. Well, evidently the GOP lovers of Russia have not seen ALL of the Russian people...I mean the brown

or non-white people.
