The right wing loves authoritarians, and they would rather see America follow in Russia's footsteps than have a Democrat in office, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Even as Vladimir Putin continues his assault on Ukraine, almost half of Trump voters here in the United States think that Vladimir Putin is a better leader for his people than president Joe Biden is for his people here in the United States. 47% of self-described Trump voters here in the United States think that Putin is a better leader. Only 3% of people who voted for Donald Trump said unequivocally, that Joe Biden is the better leader for their respective people. Now, this shouldn't be too shocking, right? When you look at the mentality of somebody who voted for Donald Trump, it's not a surprise that they would be attracted to somebody like Putin. I mean the two men do share a lot of qualities. They want absolute control. Nobody can tell them, you know, they, they rule with an iron fist. Basically they attack the press. They attack reporters. They attack anyone who disagrees with them. Although granted Putin does it to a much greater degree and we have seen 2100 protesters arrested in Russia so far as of yesterday. And that number is going to continue to climb as the Russian people want no part of Putin ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7RgGn0OzWs

A teenager in New Hampshire claims that he was physically manhandled by members of Ron DeSantis' team on during two separate occasions over the summer. The two incidents occurred after the 15-year old asked Ron DeSantis a tough question about Trump trying to overturn the 2020 election at a prior event, and when the young man showed up at subsequent DeSantis events, he was physically removed and restrained by DeSantis' people. This fits a pattern that DeSantis has engaged in for quite some time, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

A teenager from New Hampshire claims that earlier this summer, in fact twice this past summer, he had been manhandled by members of Ron DeSantis team. Now, these allegations that this 15 year old has leveled against the DeSantis team have actually been corroborated by at least seven different witnesses. Here's what happened. This 15 year old at an event prior to the two incidents of allegedly being manhandled asked Ron DeSantis a simple question. He said, do you believe that Trump violated the peaceful transfer of power, a key principle of American democracy that we must uphold? Now, DeSantis kind of danced around the issue and then moved on. But then after that event where this 15 year old asked this question, a very good question, by the way, especially for a 15 year old. So kids paying attention, he understands how things work in the United States, great for him. But then he shows up at another event for Ron DeSantis on the 4th of July, and then that's when he alleges that he was taken away by DeSantis team, you know, roughed up a little bit, you know, manhandled and, uh, restrained, even though he was not a danger, he was not a threat. And then they did it again at an event in August. Now, let me read you this. This is from Raw Story original reporting by The Daily Beast, but here's what they said. He said he was surrounded and physically restrained at a July 4th parade after briefly interacting with DeSantis and the candidates, private security contractors briefly detained him while an attendee at the latter event saw a staffer for DeSantis. Super Pac never backed down. Take a photo of Mitchell on Snapchat with the ominous caption. Got our kid. Now, that's from a different witness. I actually had a reporter come up and just say, they're pointing at you and they're watching you. The kid said, Casey DeSantis, the candidate's wife, spoke directly to the child's mother at the parade, but suggested the boy was lying about what took place. While I'm a mother too, Casey said, according to, uh, the kid and the other witnesses, I know what you're experiencing and we're all very afraid for our children, even if they're exaggerating. So obviously these incidents were enough for Casey DeSantis to know what was going on because she addressed it with the kid's mother. You have one witness who says they put it on Snapchat, Snapchat with the caption, got our kid. You have seven other corroborating witnesses who confirmed this 15 year old story, and I'll do you one better. We also have reports, grant Stern, by the way, and, uh, Thomas Kennedy have been doing phenomenal jobs here in the state of Florida of reporting on DeSantis and how he is with reporters. They have both reported on his alleged enemies list of people in the press. So this story from this 15 year old actually fits right in to this other reporting that both Kennedy and Grant Stern have been engaged in. Like this falls right in line with other things these two reporters in Florida have both written about and experienced. So I have no reason to doubt this 15 year old story because we've got two dynamite reporters here in Florida that have been saying this same thing for several years at this point. This is disgusting behavior. This deserves more analysis. It deserves an investigation because if DeSantis team is being this antagonistic with a frigging 15 year old, then there is something deep, deeply, deeply rotten with who DeSantis is as a human being. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBKWxi4SEGs
