Some asshat Russian lawyer is currently in the process of developing a village in Russia for people living in America who hate empathy, respect, different people, equality, education, and personal freedoms. You know, everything that made America great in the first place.

Daily Kos:
VICE: "Russia Wants to Build a MAGA Colony for US Conservatives, Lawyer Claims"Remember back in the day when conservatives habitually told liberals that if we don’t like America we should move to Russia? That was when we were trying to feed babies and provide everyone with lifesaving health care and stop George W. Bush from invading sovereign countries for no reason. You know, all the regular commie sh*t we’ve been up to since the ‘60s.
Well, now many of them love Russia, because a dyspeptic reality TV star who sounds like a bathtub full of drowning howler monkeys kept saying how awesome their autocratic, kleptocratic, war-criminal dictator was.
In fact, so many American conservatives now love Russia, Russia has noticed—and they’re actively wooing them. And not just with outdoor winter toilets and nearly unlimited beets. Oh, no. They’re building an entire village for conservative Americans fed up with our nation’s woke policies, such as marriage equality and not invading Canada, even though its secret military super-moose labs pose a clear and present danger to portions of rural Maine.
I love how Repubicans are referred to in this piece as "the immigrants". Irony much?Plans are underway in Russia to build a settlement for conservative American and Canadian immigrants seeking to leave the West “for ideological reasons,” at least according to a Moscow-based immigration lawyer.
Timur Beslangurov, a partner in the law firm VISTA Immigration, claimed that construction would begin next year on a village in the Moscow region for about 200 families from North America, financed by the immigrants themselves.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has wooed Western right-wingers and conservatives by positioning himself as a staunch defender of a traditionalist, Christian European identity, resulting in pro-Russian narratives about the invasion of Ukraine becoming widespread in far-right and conspiracist networks.

The affinity between the Russian state and the US right was on full display after Fox sacked ultra-right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson last month, prompting a leading Kremlin propagandist and Russian state TV anchor Vladimir Solovyov to publicly express his admiration for the US TV personality.
“You have our admiration and support in any endeavour you choose for yourself next, be it running for president of the United States (which you probably should totally do, by the way) or making an independent media project,” Solovyov said in an email to Carlson posted to Telegram. “We’ll happily offer you a job if you wish to carry on as a presenter and host!”
