The way some US citizens engage with their government really reminds me of the good tsar, bad boyar phenomenon common in Russia.

Trump/the tsar couldn't be doing the thing that's hurting me, he just doesn't know about the situation! If only the state governor/boyar wasn't so horrible, corrupt and hiding the situation from the federal government, then Trump/the tsar would obviously step in and fix the issue.

Same phenomenon as "if only the FΓΌhrer knew" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_the_F%C3%BChrer_knew?wprov=sfla1)

Russians and Americans have a whole lot more in common than they realize. (As do all people, cuz we're all people don't ya know.)

I was watching a YouTube video of a Russian guy exploring the Kaliningrad exclave, and I was struck by all the yokels with Zs painted on their boats and cars and how it's exactly like MAGAts in America.

Coincidentally, history of the cpsu is pinned for discussion elsewhere. I have time off so...

Re-reading this, there's something deeply angering reading about people who voted for Trump who operate boats having only to worry about not having fuel for their boats, meanwhile boats off the coast of South American countries are suffering genuine horrors at the hands of the demon he voted for

People in a very similar situation to his are being put through genuine atrocities, and he wants to open his message to Trump by making it clear he's a genuine fan

It took me a minute. I thought you meant the character and put it in quotes for that reason.

Yes, just be even more sycophantic, that will make him listen.

You know what we do build? Wind turbines, solar (yes, really, massive plants just went up and online), and new mega battery manufacturing plants (30 plus currently). Sodium ion batteries are now being produced and are so good that traditional battery manufacturing is at 50%, they don’t lose capacity at extreme cold temps, they don’t catch on fire in wrecks, they will outlive their owners, they scale up to home and industrial size use cases, they cost less than half traditional batteries. So maybe we fucking focus on transitioning as much as we can to electric for gods sake.

Nah bro that’s some commie shit! Drill baby drill or some shit

Smartest American hog

Have the day you voted for!

Stupid is as stupid does

If he wasn't affected by the consequences, he would probably just put this all on Iran; it is funny how people who actually feel the effects of war immediately recognize how much power the government has to put a stop to it
