I remember conservatives of the 60's and the 70's. The worst thing they'd tell protesters is "go to Russia if you don't like it here". Now it sounds they would like to go there themselves. You'd also be blacklisted for slamming a veteran, as a politician.  If you praised Russia and denigrated your own country, you wouldn't even make it to the primaries. Not today. Today they're trying to elect him to the highest office in this country. I told my brother last year, it's like I've stepped into Bizarro world.
