They are Putin's Brownshirts.

2. Recently read that bikers were coming to Washington

in a "WALL OF MEAT" show of support for Trump. Rachel mentioned it last night as well.

3. From the article...

In the Russian media, he can regularly be heard trumpeting the country's greatness while warning that its enemies — America, Europe, homosexuals, liberals, traitorous "fifth columnists" — intend to undermine Mother Russia. He and the other Night Wolves often hold motorcycle rallies to promote Russian patriotism and Orthodox Christianity, making rumbling pilgrimages to churches and holy sites.

Meanwhile, I've recently discovered that white supremacists in this country admire Russia/Putin for their racism.

Throughout the presidential campaign, Donald J. Trump mystified many on the left and in the foreign policy establishment with his praise for Mr. Putin and his criticism of the Obama administration’s efforts to isolate and punish Russia for its actions in Crimea and eastern Ukraine. But what seemed inexplicable when Mr. Trump first expressed his admiration for the Russian leader seems, in retrospect, to have been a shrewd dog whistle to a small but highly motivated part of his base.

For Mr. Heimbach is far from alone in his esteem for Mr. Putin. Throughout the collection of white ethnocentrists, nationalists, populists and neo-Nazis that has taken root on both sides of the Atlantic, Mr. Putin is widely revered as a kind of white knight: a symbol of strength, racial purity and traditional Christian values in a world under threat from Islam, immigrants and rootless cosmopolitan elites.

“I’ve always seen Russia as the guardian at the gate, as the easternmost outpost of our people,” said Sam Dickson, a white supremacist and former Ku Klux Klan lawyer who frequently speaks at gatherings of the so-called alt-right, a far-right fringe movement that embraces white nationalism and a range of racist and anti-immigrant positions. “They are our barrier to the Oriental invasion of our homeland and the great protector of Christendom. I admire the Russian people. They are the strongest white people on earth.”

4. Terrifying!

No wonder the deplorables don't have a problem w/ Trump's ties w/ Russia. They actually worship them as authoritarian strongmen, the same thing that attracted them to Trump.

5. That appears to be the case!

Since I haven't lingered around white supremacist sites, I wasn't aware of this stuff until recently.

6. You are correct.

Interestingly two of my co-workers are ardent fans of Tinyhands. They liked Putin long before the rise of the orange one. Especially the woman. Coincidentally, both had fathers that were less than ideal and that dropped out of the picture when they were children.

I'm convinced that so many out there with "daddy issues" are taken with these thugs cause they are still looking for their daddy, their big strong protector daddy, that is long gone.
