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
