Okay Ukrainians voting for Trump has to be funniest and saddest thing I've read today.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

“In terms of what Trump will do for Ukraine, it’s kind of up in the air, I don't believe he will necessarily provide weapons and help so to speak, but what he will do is pressure (Russian President Vladimir Putin),” Lashchyk told the Kyiv Independent.
“I believe that Trump will negotiate some kind of end to the war, do I believe Ukraine will have to cede some of our ground in order for the killing to stop, probably, I’m totally not okay with that but I have no choice.”
I think this is the root problem with... well, everything Trump, supporters idolize him and see him as some kind of super hero, like he's really that different (in this case) than the entire US government that's already been "pressuring Putin."
And the problem with lots of American culture in general. Idolization is not good. Seeing people as heroes is not good. No one on Lemmy wants to hear this, but it happens in the Democrats too.
Is it possible Mr. Lashchyk is simply very, very dumb?
Brain damage and Trump support are correlated...
Or women voting for Trump?
Or PoC voting for Trump?
Or fiscal conservatives voting for Trump?
Or Christians voting for Trump?
Or any non-millionaire voting for Trump?
Or anyone not named Trump voting for Trump?
I saw someone outside the US comment on this, and I don't think people outside the US (and apparently many US voters) are aware just how anti Ukraine Trump will be.
Common sense would say "he's gonna be hawkish, right?" They don't know about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump%E2%80%93Ukraine_scandal
People don't like to hear Trump & Putin work together after all the Muller report stuff was absolutely mutilated by right wing media and Bill Barrs involvement, but seriously... Anything Putin wants Trump will do. He is going to hand Putin Ukraine on a silver platter...
It was wild re-reading all that back when Russia launched its "special military operation". One of the last things Trump did in office was attempt to extort and/or weaken the country Putin was gearing up to invade again
