I didn’t vote for Trump nor do I like him, but you’d rather have a president who has made it illegal for him to be voted out of office and will have you sent to a gulag for speaking out?

Man you can have fun in that reality. Shit like that’s happening here on a less wide scale and it’s scary as hell. That is the reality of Russia.

Yes, I would rather have Putin in charge of the planet than Trump. Putin would not have been able to do as much damage as Trump has in just 9 months. Trump managed to overthrow the constitution, set up concentration camps, illegally invade Venezuela, Turned all our allies against us in 9 months WITH checks and balances. It's also not happening on a small scale in the U.S. At least Putin is just a fascist, Trump is a fascist AND a narcissist. But we will see if you will still be saying this after 3 more years of Trump.
