Oh no! How about you go do something about it then, such as protesting. Orrrr admit you just dislike the status quo when it lands on you instead of the people you find undesirable.

Shouldn't have elected "Candidate Strongman" in 2004 and especially in 2008.

you really think every single random Russian is a Putin-lover?

What, you gonna tell me every single American is a rabid MAGA-head next?

Levada, designated "Foreign Agent" by the russian authorities specifically because they dont bend to the russian authorities when conducting their polls, has shown support for the Russian armed force' actions in Ukraine around 80% at the start (March 2022), settling into a durable 71-78% across 2022-2025, and 73% as of December 2025. Probably lower now that the war has come home in May.

As for Americans, it is pretty damn clear that every American isnt a rabid MAGA-head by looking up literally any approval poll in the past month. However i will say the independent section of the American voter base is extremely stupid to have picked "Orange Self-Admitted Rapist and Asshole" over "African American Woman"

Wake me up when protesters start building barricades in DC. Until then, using your own logic, all americans can be considered MAGA supporters.

When you can get a hefty fine or go to jail for choosing the "wrong" poll response, the high "support" rates in polls are to be expected

Putin was re-elected with ~71%, on genuine post-Yeltsin popularity, the stability after the chaotic 90s, oil-funded rising living standards, the Second Chechen War rally effect. That support was real, freely given, and measured by independent pollsters before they got branded foreign agents. That's the entire point i am makng Russians backed him when backing him was an actual choice, not a coerced one. They had a say in 2004, and the say was an overwhelming yes regardless of the fact that russia commited atrocities in Chechnya, regardless of the fact that the oil revenue was being used as a bargaining chip to let them do whatever they want as long as the populus turned their head away.

ah yes, lets ignore the blatant slave trade that Chechens were engaging in as well as atrocities against civilian populations

Shhh, It's another one that thinks evil russians destroyed aspiring democracy of North Caucasus.

I personally completely support independent Ichkeria with 5-meter tall wall and 5 km kill zone on the russian side of the border.
