What many Red State legislatures and governors have learned from Trump is how to run their state the way Putin runs Russia. They are passing laws that restrict who can vote and that gives the party the power to decide which votes count. They are passing laws to discriminate against LBGTQ people, intimidate minorities, and limit protests. They also want to favor the big businesses of their biggest donors. They pass laws that help keep wages low, and profits high.

They want to whitewash history and eliminate any mention of equality and diversity. They are pushing their version of religion, especially by valuing the rights of unborn children over the rights of women, minorities, workers, and families. Several states are now doing this by employing the KBG tactic of using citizens to spy and inform on each other, thus further dividing and intimidating everyone.

They are succeeding in turning their states into little Russias because six of the justices of the Supreme Court are pro-oligarch white supremacists.
