@mattklewis I guess so. Really sad... -
@LizMair@mattklewis There is a history among some segments of the right of defending authoritarian rulers (i.e., Pincohet, Franco, etc) -

@dmataconis@LizMair@mattklewis What are Russians actually doing?#4Real Don't consider Weinstein credible, and would like to know. -
@grantbosse@dmataconis@mattklewis This is not a difficult topic to research. Try Google. -
.
@LizMair@dmataconis@mattklewis I was hoping for recommended sources from people I trust, but fair enough. Signal to noise ratio low. -
@grantbosse@dmataconis@mattklewis I don't know what sources you trust, so I can't provide you with information guaranteed to satisfy. -

@LizMair Just looking for reliable coverage of Russian domestic news. Not familiar with which are Putin apologists, or crappy tabloids. -
@grantbosse It would shock me if you hadn't heard about the Pussy Riot situation, or various other human rights abuses in Russia... - 2 more replies

It's been a thing for years, I'm afraid. Started when he went after gay people-- some people here cheered that.
-
Note that in many cases, I suspect money was changing hands in some form. They weren't honestly cheering what he was doing.
-
Also, Putin made some inroads by depicting himself as pro-gun and a lot of conservatives always like a pro-gun "European."

Maybe you should look at Rohrabacher meeting w/Putin in early 90's at bar in DC. Dana has been a big pro-Russia influence

Yes. He's less of a threat to the average American than our current elites. He doesn't judge "progress" by the speed of our replacement.

@mattklewis@LizMair it is just a Matt Lewis thing. "Hey everyone, look at me" -
@mattklewis@LizMair I call BS on Lewis "reporting" that cons love Putin. Probably just heard them trashing his scribbles and emoted.
