Putin is just like Trump.

- Putin utilizes nationalism and fear or hatred of minorities to energize his base of neo-fascist thugs.
- Trump boldly utilizes anti-immigrant fears to energize his rabid base of redneck racists.
- Putin sells a romantic vision of the past which borders on the kitsch, which Russians love.

And as far as I know, Trump hasn't poisoned anybody and so far none of the press he rails against has ended up shot yet.
Are you kiddin' me?
Putin is a Republican's wet dream.
