Russian President Vladimir Putin has seemingly invited conservatives chafing under “neoliberal ideals” in their home countries to move to Russia, where he claimed “traditional values reign supreme,” and Alex Jones suggested he might take him up on the offer.

The Russian president signed a decree offering assistance to foreigners seeking temporary residence in his country and expanding the quota approved by the nation’s government and setting aside a requirement for knowing the Russian language, history and basic laws, and Jones urged his followers to consider sanctuary there.

    “This new decree blows the lid off the establishment’s agenda, letting freedom-loving folks bypass the usual bureaucratic nonsense like language tests or history exams,” Jones

    Alex Jones, pro-immigration and a strong advocate of removing any process to naturalize citizens in a new country.

      Once they get their Russian citizenship any of the Americans that do this should remember to find a US embassy/consulate and renounce their citizenship so they don’t get taxed by Uncle Sam.

    Meanwhile, in hell, Satan has cured Ronald Reagan of his dementia so he can watch his party gargle Putins balls.

      Growing up (I was a kid during Reagan’s Presidency), I heard more than one conservative pundit saying “better dead than Red!” I guess Russia is technically not the USSR; but, it strikes me as funny to see conservative pundits now seemingly open to becoming Russian.

        Yeah, I grew up in the same era. A lot of Kill a Commie for Mommy shit left over from the '60s too. Remember Red Dawn?

        Reagans non-policy on aids is a major reason I’m where I am politically now. I watched a few neighbors and family friends suffer and die in silence because of him. The worship that guy got from the gop was always a mystery to me but even just a few years ago I’ve been told he was the Greatest Ever President. But these same people are all over putins dick. It makes no sense.

          Yeah I was raised anti Reagan because he took my grandma’s widow money while she was raising two kids on a hairdresser’s pay. Then I grew up a bit and saw the devastation aids did to my community as a result of his refusal to respond as well as his attacks on our country’s inner cities. Then I grew up further and saw how he hollowed out my country’s economy for short term profits and even the things people praised him for were bad.

    Makes sense. After all you won’t need to know any of that stuff out on the front lines in Ukraine.

    Let these douchebags go. Chances are they’ll be bitching about their situation in no time and looking to come back.

    Don’t give them asylum.

      Or throw Alex Jones into a deep, dark hole for skipping out on paying the sandy hook families what he owes them.

        I say we send him to Russia, revoke his citizenship, use tax dollars to pay the victims, and call it breaking even.

    Wasn’t there an ad a few months back, put out by the Russians, claiming the same thing - a sanctuary for westerners who want to keep traditional values? I remember it because it had some supposedly well-known Russian porn actress in it, acting as a pure smiling maiden or something like that…

    Oh man I would feel so owned if conservatives moved to Russia. Oh no, please don’t. Please.

    Apparently Republicans are tired of democracy and almost every single traditional American value. Like supporting the middle class and human rights.
    Russia will probably be perfect for them, until they figure out their dream is actually a nightmare.
