Funny how thier hero, Biden, has created the very situations which have upset them, but they are unable to criticize him, as it violates the rules of the cult. Given they cannot accept reality, they make up some fantasy world in which liberals are flawless and incapable of committing all the gaffes Biden has foisted upon the world. I guess that helps a lib mentally deal with the fact that "their president" has caused so many disasters in the US and has set the entire globe into chaos.

With Biden we have:

runaway inflation soon to get worse
escalating gasoline prices
food and product shortages
open borders
runaway crime
the world in the brink of nuclear war
a "president" who is mentally unable to deal with the problems he has created
a "president" who will not cease buying Russian oil, despite calls to do so from dems and republicans alike
skyhigh fertilizer prices which will increase food prices several fold
And they still try and blame Trump for Biden’s many blunders

It definitely worked for Biden

Far right hates commuinism so this doesn't compute. Who likes communism? AOC, Bernie, etc.

What people of all sorts may admire is how he has mocked the west for their idiocracy. Even if you don't like or approve of someone, even if you hate them, that doesn't mean you disagree with everything they say or do.

Looks like an emergency stop (E-stop) switch.

Resets are small push-button switches that are usually black in color.

E-stops are large, like that one, and always red, like that one.

- Infected with nostalgia and deluded as to how great that past society was.

- Obsessed with law, order, and discipline - on both national and personal levels. Ultimately one level supports the other. Which leads to the next point...

- Glorifies social dominance and the other so-called "manly" traits. Often implies that they're the only measure of personal worth; at least forcefulness of personality but extra points if physical forcefulness as well.

- Strong respect, if not admiration, of wealthy people (can compensate for low-average levels of social dominance to an extent).

There's no doubt other traits, but all this is what immediately crosses my mind.
There's a lot of overlap between the far right and Putin.

But to say they don't admire Putin himself is incorrect.

Until very recently, as in the last few days, they have openly admired Putin.

The Republican Party leader has gotten in some hot water lately for openly admiring Putin, but he's been openly admiring him for years.

I don't know of any person, far right or conservative that admires Putin. It is sad what the Ukraine is suffering while the world watches the slaughter. The nations are afraid he will retaliate and go nuclear. If we do nothing, he may very well go nuclear. People I speak to would like to see him assassinated. I have never heard anyone express admiration for Putin.

I'm pretty sure that's a violation of modus ponens or modus tollens?

Because they are so brainwashed and have nothing positive to say about Biden so they blame Trump. The Jan 6th commission is trying to show criminal intent against Trump even though FBI said there was no insurrection. Why? The left is afraid he will run again and he has a lot of supporters.

It was Hildabeast who went to a Russian agent to get fake stories about Trump.. it was Hillary all the time who was colluding with the Russians.
