I was talking to a trump voter the other day. Most probably actually an “Anybody (R)” voter. Educated, affluent, but not a serious student of politics or world affairs.
Who was flabbergasted when I told them that trump intends to withdraw support for Ukraine, thereby forcing Ukraine to capitulate to Putin. They had never heard of any such intent. Never. The idea that any R was in effect a Russian stooge was simply unthinkable; R’s are patriots, not stooges. Always. No matter what and no matter who.
Pitiful if it wasn’t so damned commonplace.
