I imagine that people like this have always felt this way to some degree. Maybe because it was a different time back then, or maybe because they were younger (and thus more concerned with peer pressure), they were silent. Now they feel emboldened; for whatever reason. It’s like Pandora’s box: it’s been opened, and even if you close it, it’s too late. It’s out there now.
I have one reason: An orange conman/felon.
im not that sure. of course they were probably never friendly with democrats but russia was not far removed from literal communism for most of these guys’ lives.
