This is not surprising. What is more worrying are all of the people in the US(and a large part of the west) who seem to think that communism and the Russian revolution are great things while actively supporting the eroding of our rights. For example, no due process, Mob justice etc. etc. etc.. This is a glimpse into our own future in the west if we don't actively push against totalitarianism in all forms, not just when it benefits us. (edited to correct spelling)
