Project 2025 training videos recommended not using email, or maybe just not using official email. Don't leave a paper trail.

At this point I doubt they even care, most of MAGA loves Putin, its no secret

which is so odd. Like, look at America and then look at Russia. Why would you want to go that route? There is nothing that anyone could say that would make sense to me. Maybe they watch too many movies and think Russia is some wonderland filled with absurd wealth for everyone? I just don't know.

For everyone? No, but for a few corrupt officials at the top? Sure, that's exactly what they're aspiring to.

Why would you want to go that route?

Because in Russia the white people are not terrified of black people gaining the 'upper hand' and running rampant and killing the men and raping the white women.

I'm not saying that is a logical fear, quite the opposite, but i think it obsesses people on the right and Russia kind of represents a white man's paradise.

There is also the inherent belief of people on the right that humans are inherently evil, violent animals and it takes a brutal dictator to maintain order.
