The huge US flag flying from that tank with an equally large Russian Federation flag was very likely just pro-Putin propaganda. After 3 1/2 years of costly war, Russians are (or WERE) largely demoralized or apathetic. Trump's overt alliance with kleptofascist dictator Putin weighs on Russian propaganda scales like a superhero's endorsement. L
Despite Putin's 2021 revisionist oration to his nation to convince every citizen of Russia that Ukraine was always and always will be Russian, Trump's very very public affinity for an otherwise globally ostracized war criminal Putin is like a papal dispensation.
For every career military American veteran Trump's endorsement of Putin is a hard pill to swallow. Since WW2, most American soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines believed the US flag represented fairness, justice, freedom, opportunity for all, and a high standard of personal and national integrity. All qualities that dictatorships like Putin's lack.
In a word, this administration's poorly disguised love for Putin and all he stands for is DISGRACEFUL.
The critical issue that Americans should be concerned about is low voter turnout.
Most elections usually get only 50% or less voter participation. With a nearly 50-50 split between Republicans and Democratic voters, too many elections are decided by approximately 25% or less of the constituency!!
No experts have documented significant rates of election fraud in American elections. But low voter participation is a real, very evident problem!
When Oregon sent every registered voter a ballot to be returned either in person or by mail, voter participation rates surged to 80%. Voting by mail as an option drives up voter participation.
Oregon's model is one every state should emulate.
