It’s funny because it hits close to home

It’s enough to make you want to join Ben Shapiro’s Community of Grievance.
It was interesting to see the video highlight that a family had to move their seat on a flight because other childless couples were “uncomfortable” seeing a family with child. Could it be they were referring to what’s happening in Florida and other states…banning books and making laws that say you can’t teach some aspects of history in schools because it makes some feel “uncomfortable”? The irony is that it was this crowd that was mocking educational institutions for creating “safe spaces” when students felt “uncomfortable” with the learning content.
QUOTE: It is amazing to see how much Republicans have warmed up to Russia.
I noted the same. It seems the rhetoric on Russian vacillates.
HISTORICALLY For most of the post-World War II era, a critical posture against the failed Soviet Union and its successor, Russia, was Republican doctrine. Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1950 described the former Allied powers in Moscow as “those people, behind and beyond the Iron Curtain, [who] have seen so much political wickedness and cold blooded betrayal, such Godless depravity in government.” Then-Vice President Richard Nixon faced off in a mocked-up American home against Nikita Khrushchev in 1959 in what has come to be called The Kitchen Debate. For Ronald Reagan, the Soviet Union was the unquestioned “evil empire.” When Mitt Romney was the Republican nominee for President in 2012, he had no pause: “Russia, this is, without question, our number one geopolitical foe.”
