    It's been a wild couple of years, watching the average republican CHUD become more sympathetic to the USSR than the average wine tasting liberal. How is this reality? What is going on?

      Chuds just do what they're told. If Fox News and Alex Jones told them communism was awesome they'd agree. It's why propaganda is so effective.

        They'd have to phrase that in a very particular way, or some critical mass of media people would have to all spout the same message at once. I'm thinking of how Tomi Lahren nearly lost her career for being moderately pro-choice, or how Dave Rubin kept saying too many positive things about gay marriage

        I think a better way of phrasing it is chuds will agree with whatever the oil billionaire media says, and it's only ever going to say a small range of things.

          Totally, it'd only happen if the oil billionaire cabal went woke (or were, say, purged...).

        Oh yeah, by "more" sympathetic I didn't mean actually liking them, just more willing to engage the topic with nuance and actually examine the USSR more earnestly than their lib counterparts, which has been very strange to see. I think it might help that they just hate it because they're told to, while libs hate it because of "authoritarian dictators" which is something the CHUDs are a fan of.
