There’s a lot more to it.
This is Russia working like water in stone turning to ice and breaking the rock. See how easily they seduced the NRA, all they needed was one reasonably attractive woman telling them what they wanted to hear.
The significance of it being the NRA is because they had become an entirely far right wing conservative cult.
Putin is using conservative psychology against itself like a virus, besides they already want to transition our republic into a fascist Christian Dominonist nation, basically a group that thinks you can believe your way into good social policy even when science is screaming NO!
People that believe in a cosmic stalker watching their very thoughts and motivations aren’t so bothered by leaders that neglect science and reality for a delusion.
It’s all a psyops problem, a natural outcome of a clash between belief and reality.
Like Eric the Viking...
