... Putin style

The best elections. The best people.

Yikes.

This is the nation our Republican friends increasingly lionize. I've said that before, I know.

But it's true. Trump heaps praise on "strong men" who dominate the political landscape this way and who brook no serious opposition. Men (and it's alway men in these very old-fashioned patriarchies) who aren't afraid to break some bones in the process of ensuring that eveyone looks in the same direction for the photos.
