    Right, but they do support Putin (overwhelmingly so). The whole “leopards eating faces” thing applies just as much to them as it does to MAGA people.

      Again, you have no idea if that’s the case with these specific people. You have no idea if they’re the Russian equivalent of MAGA.

        Putin’s support is much higher than MAGA could ever dream of. Something like 80%. Plus the people who don’t support Putin don’t actually support the opposition, they’re just politically indifferent and disengaged. That’s consent for the status quo in any country.
