Being pro Russia because 'own the left' and 'our guy has autocratic dreams' is even weirder

Let's just agree that no matter your political leanings, being pro-Russia is fucking weird.

I swear to god it seemed like there was a massive shift in pro Russian sentiment when we all found out Russia had interfered in the 2016 election because

  1. Obama was doing sanctions about it and a certain group of people is always anti Obama, regardless of what that means, politically
  2. Russia had interfered on behalf of the guy they wanted, therefore Russian interference good
