I just realized an eerie parallel between the Red Menaces "enforcement" of their "moral" minority upon American society, and Russia's ill fated attack upon its unassuming neighbor. The analogy came to me as I was reading the Atlantic's publication of article: "Abortion Is Inflaming the GOP’s Biggest Electoral Problem" (theatlantic.com/politic…
I just realized an eerie parallel between the Red Menaces "enforcement" of their "moral" minority upon American society, and Russia's ill fated attack upon its unassuming neighbor. The analogy came to me as I was reading the Atlantic's publication of article: "Abortion Is Inflaming the GOP’s Biggest Electoral Problem" (https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2023/08/abortion-gop-electoral-problem-ohio/674999/ for those subscribed). The piece described how the most recent episode of resounding defeats of a state's pregnancy options, i.e., Ohio Issue #1. It was proffered by the state's right-to-lifers, and is indicative of how the "Right" is losing the urban and suburban middle ground voters.
So, here are the points of equivalency between "Putin's War" in the East and anti-abortion here:
(1) The Principles:
(East) Putin is a whiney denialist bent on enforcing his ego, and enabled by the "no prisoners" aging generals and old Soviet glory nationalists that hide behind their "patriotism."
(Us) Need a draw you a picture of our felonious King Clown and the rabid lemmings that back him?
(2) Manifest Destiny:
Both "Putzin" and "(un)Triumphant" have identical maximalist goals (yes I have been reading ISW reports daily) - The world is better off if the liberal weaklings shut up and remove all nuisances hindering their deification.
(3) The Opposition:
(East) Putin hates being argued with. The "Ukes" are rogish halflings who need to be punished by burying any sense of their identity as "Non-Putinites."
(Us) DJT, whose full name, like Voldemort's (oops, I said it) is never to be mentioned, honestly loathes his detractors, and would love to watch their carcasses get picked apart by buzzards, just like on 1/6.
(4) The Accused:
(East) The squatters must be eliminated for their own good, leaving all their homes and industry to me, Heir Putz.
(Us) DJ, "Let'em eat cakes... of C4! Don't care what happens, just get it done. When I wrest back the Presidency they'll be outlawed to exist, anyway."
(5) The Means:
(East) VP: "Take their children, they are the orphans of those we indiscriminately mowed down. And, "help" them by bussing them to us en masse. Boy kin will become good little Russian Soldiers, and girls will "entertain" our troops.
(Us) DJ, "I'll let my wannabees do my bidding, such as Ron-who-tries-to-be-Don and the permanently 14-day unwashed look of Steve "Banyon-tree-haired," by mutating all those pesky liberal institutions of higher and lower learning into non-functionable houses of the good little burgeoning "It's Right to be White" kiddies.
(6) "Unser Kampf:"
(East) P: "Why can't I be the new Stalin, no matter how I try to be evil. Lukashenko, Kadyrov, Ceaușescu, Bolsonaro, Pinochet (Noir) etc, were all happy with their little fiefdoms. Why is my tiny largest country in the world with a land mass of over 6 million sq mi not enough for me?"
(Us) D: "Real estate is my middle name, darn it! It's the foundation that Dad... I mean I, was built upon. I simply should have all of it. I'll give my multitude of unwashed lackey voters all the moral ground they want, I'll just keep the actual pieces of earth."
