    Anecdotal, but in my offline time I never met anyone who gave a shit about Ukraine. It seems to be terminally online turbo-libs. I did meet an anarchist in rehab who while more a libertarian than anything else, at least told me that Ukraine was bad and full of neo-nazis. Most people seem to be republicans obsessed with Trump.

      There’s still a couple of ukraine flags around where I live and a bunch of yellow and blue twistie things all over the place. The most fervent supporters are definitely libs who left the republican party over trump.

      Also, I think we can see now that libs were against the Iraq War because W. was doing it. Had it been Gore, they would have been totally into it.

        I've always seen the whole ukraine flag waving thing was just for libs to display their american nationalism in a way that was more sanitized and less tacky than the republicans.

          The libs are also flying American flags now just as much as the conservatives do (while some conservatives have taken down their flags because they hate biden lol).

            Really? I live in a Kamala town (during the last primaries) and I don't see any USA flags. Still see some Ukrainian though. Would you say that libs are getting more nationalist in most places? It does make sense with a historical analysis.

              All I know is that they're getting more nationalistic here. It's like third reich shit in some places. It's not enough that every third house has a fucking flag flying out front—a couple of towns (in the rural northeast) will have their streets lined with flags. If Biden loses the presidency the flags could disappear though. I don't know. But the era of liberal internationalism does seem to be ending.
