Trump and Putin are neoliberal transphobes who pretend to offer an alternative to the present system but in reality just give more of the same. This meme presents Trump as an "outsider" when in reality he is very much part of the establishment and has the same bourgeois interests as the rest of them. Many of us believe that Putin is useful as an "enemy of our enemy" but that doesn't mean we think he's a good person or that we should emulate Russian laws. The meme is basically saying, "A vote for Trump is a vote to undermine US foreign policy!" but a lot of people are very dissatisfied with US foreign policy so it comes across as "A vote for Bart is a vote for Anarchy!" and helps Trump to paint the false narrative that he offers an alternative.
Also come on, the hammer and sickle is just ridiculous here. Russia hasn't been socialist in over 30 years, and again, with socialism becoming more popular with young people, it's totally counter-productive. But mostly using it here is just dumb and cringe because it has nothing to do with anything.
