Fascist PA Senate candidate J.D. Vance took the same view when he was interviewed by Bannon:
He insisted in an interview that he and his buddies “did not serve in the Marine Corps to go and fight Vladimir Putin because he didn’t believe in transgender rights, which is what the U.S. State Department is saying is a major problem with Russia.”
Whether it’s anti-LGBTQ+ hatemongering like this or white supremacist hero worship of Putin, bigotry always underlies the American right’s support for Russia during this war. You don’t have to dig very far to find it, either. See also Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Laura Ingraham, and (because there’s always a kapo in the mix) Glenn Greenwald.

Huh. I wonder what other warmongering autocrats in recent history that were also anti-gay these two shitstains would happily support…
Could it be…

I wouldn’t give him that much appeal. Consider posting his picture after a trip through the digestive tract.

As I recall we didn’t exactly stand with the Hitlerjugend against Stalin.
There are just some shit-stains that don’t wash out.

Because “the Russians [sic] people still know which bathroom to use.”
I am beyond frustrated at how astoundingly primitive our society still is. Not only should we be well past people fearmongering about trans people using “the wrong bathroom”, gendered bathrooms shouldn’t even still exist- make them all unisex, FFS.

A right-wing fanatic, with a private army? Yep, that sounds about right.

These people are traitors. Maybe not guilty of treason to the United States under the extremely narrow legal definition there. But traitors to its allies on top of being well-known traitors to democracy, traitors to rights, and traitors to humanity. That people treat them as anything other than refuse is so deeply frustrating.

"This is genius. Bin Laden takes down these buildings with a couple of planes. How smart is that? That’s pretty savvy.
“Bin Laden liked me. I liked him. Had I been in office, this wouldn’t have happened.”

My college had that in the 1980’s, before it was cool.

Well, how could we expect to survive the next cold war without culturally going right back to where we were when we started the last one? /s
(Note that we will not need to return to 50s levels of wealth inequality, tax rates, or unionization - oh look! A squirrel 
!)
ETA: At least he admits the bigotry. Progress!

Ironically I feel that a lot of the steroid doping scandals from the Russians over years made people question what the point of gender based competitive sports was for. The answer for many people became, to heck with tradition. Sports should be about individual achievement, and everyone having a right to compete regardless of their identification.
