Thanks! TIL I have a tankie in my extended family lol. Whenever we've talked about Russia/Ukraine or really anything, the response is 'but what about the dems!'. Its weird to have someone who's educated and seems quite rational in most ways actually believe that the pre-trump US was worse than Russia, where you really can't be a journalist without falling out of a window. Another of their favourite arguments is 'stop imposing your western values onto other cultures who don't want them' SMH. Still, I'd choose a tankie over a MAGA.
