The overlap between Kremlin and Russian mob is a flat circle. Dissidents get jailed. LGBTQ rights get trampled. Corrupt oligarchy. Open political assassinations. Scientists getting suicided. Polonium poisoning. Invading Ukraine. Funding Erdogan's army against ethnic populations. Extending the Presidency to a virtual lifetime appointment. Etc.
But somehow any mention of Russia gets poo poo'd and dismissed.
It's amazing that the Trumps and Bidens and Giulianis and Manaforts, etc. get linked to backroom deals, and everyone wants to point out the corruption, but not the partner on the other end.
Russia bad.
Symbolically, I've understood it to be satire to key in on Putin's fiercely anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and policy. But I can see how it's homophobic. Thanks for the heads up.
