Comment on Why isn't Putin receiving the same level of hate than people like Trump and Elon are?

Found on Lemmy.
But also, Trump and Musk have a much larger following in the western world. And they spout so much idiotic shit that it’s hard to believe anyone would actually like them. So it’s more fun to dunk on them because your goal isn’t to insult them but their followers.
Putin has always been an asshole dictator and everyone always knew him to be an asshole dictator. Hardly anybody likes him in the western world. And if people do like him it’s easier to understand because he doesn’t show the idiocy we’ve come to expect from Trump.

Russia has been a world bad guy for as long as we have been alive and have spent some time now displaying their impotence to the world. USA joining the New Axis Powers as the last superpower makes trump far more dangerous.
