I'd never thought that I'd see conversations between bewildered fanatics in the US this close. Throughout Trump presidency I felt that calling these people трамповатa was a bit rude; that they were just confused, mostly harmless middle-aged men who happen to be mentally stuck in the Soviet/anti-soviet dichotomy of their youth. Maybe it made them feel younger and more at home with their life skills. But guess what? They are true трамповата. They live in the US, but mentally they are working remotely from the USSR, a country and society that exist only in their memories. Bergson was right. Wow.

Как правильно заметил один из комментаторов: время работает против них, демография меняется, даже их собственные дети... Впрочем, дети не стремятся понять родителей, пока у них в вырастут собственные дети. :)

Геронтократия - признак конца эпохи. Молодые уже живут другой жизнью, которая не может управляться по старинке.

I do not know why I followed your link, but it was, in fact, marginally amusing. Still, to do this was breaking my strict social distancing protocols: and they are in place for a reason. Why do you bother reading them?

Oh, yeah. Russian ghettos are something else.

Apparently younger Cubans have the same problem with their parents.

Well, Stalin is also alive.. from a certain point of view.
