 I have compared them both scientifically, and it is actualyl proven that Soros society would be a nicer one, than Putins. If you step away from the main cities in russia, the people in the country side live under close to medieval living conditions that would make all americans revolt.
 That's what you get with a kleptocracy and an authoritarian system built to exploit the people and enrich its leaders.

Phew. I thought for a moment I was going mad.
Exactly. I think there is a tendency - an understandable tendency, for people living cushioned in the richest society in the world, and not needing to be really aware in any way in their daily lives about anything beyond its shores -  to think that because they have identified deep flaws in their own government, that some one else's would in fact be better.
Let me tell you there is no such things as a corruption free government anywhere in the world, and the aim of most government is to be as corrupt and undemocratic as possible, because politicians are not saints, and anyone who thinks they are needs urgent medical attention.
I have expressed this many times as:
"All political activity makes complete sense once the proposition that all government is basically a self-legalising protection racket, is fully understood."
So the Liberals pretend to be the good guys on the moral high ground, to get the votes that enable them to satisfy the demands of the people with deep pockets like the globalist corporates.
Whilst  the Donald  pretends to be the redneck  dude with the traditional values of bottom slapping and pussy grabbing individualism, in order that *he* can get into power and get paid off by the FSB leper funds  from  Moscow.
So its not he redneck shit that I object to. Far from it. Lotta redneck in me. It's the FSB
I loathe the liberal moral snobbery and the wokery and Marxism inherent in it, but having Putin run your country instead is not the solution.
Its not a question of getting corrupt assholes out of politics, That is impossible. The point about a democracy is that you can get rid of a Biden, Or Trump, Or Obama.
The point about Putin, is that he gets rid of you. Think Al Capone heading up the white house.
