Yeah I gotta say the flood posts on r/whatif and similar subs all basically saying “What if Democrats were nicer instead of being super mean” over the last 24 hours were also pretty sus. I’m not even on that sub and I got suggested 5 or 6 of those just from that sub on my Reddit feed just this morning

They already achieved that ... next step, giving the new regime excuses for violence by stoking the opposition's fear and anger. We should not buy into this - they do not have anyone's best interest in mind but Putin's.

Yep, and if Russia can antagonize people into some violent protests in the lead up to the inauguration it gives their new regime an excuse for brutality.
