I have zero knowledge of the history or geopoliticial millieu there, I know there’s obviously lots of Ukrainians who speak both languages but not sure that translates to them wanting to necessarily join Russia per se.

As much as they are still Nazis in the USA, yes.

Probably feels like that in the States right now, but it’s really a case of voter apathy and a vocal minority. In all politics, but especially in the States, the people who yell the loudest and longest hit the public awareness the most. And sadly, the more deranged and unlikely the things the nutjobs say the more it seems to strike a chord with people who are feeling disenfranchised by the government.
I don’t know if I buy voter apathy anymore. 1/3rd of the people I talk to voted 3rd party to “teach them a lesson” - fuckers taught nobody anything except the loss of democracy.
Google searches for “did biden drop out” and the like skyrocketed on election day.
It doesn’t seem like voter apathy, it seems like systemically curated stupidity and ignorance.
I think a lot of people are clinging on to this hope that “this isn’t really America” and “this doesn’t represent America”. I’m slowly coming to terms with the idea that maybe this is America and it is what America represents, and it is an ugly truth to swallow.
