Make no mistake about it, this is propaganda designed to use mockery to get Trump supporters to circle their wagons around their leader. Mockery has that effect on people, and Russians know it. They will do their best to influence the opinions of American voters, and thousands of professional trolls will be all over the social media doing the same this election year. Russian State TV Mocks Donald Trump Supporters https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/russian-state-tv-mocks-donald-trump-supporters/ar-BB1ir0SD Donald Trump supporters have been brutally mocked on Russian state-controlled TV, with one commentator branding them "not very smart primitive people." In the video, Maxim Yusin, a Russian journalist and political commentator, says: "The majority of people who vote for Trump are not very smart primitive people with whom you need to talk like this, with cliches and dumb slogans." The remark triggers laughter from other members of the panel, one of whom goes on to describe Trump supporters as "rednecks" and compares them to villagers who cry out for money.

This man is planning to be president again." This sparks laughter from other panel members, to which he jokingly responds: "Enough, stop laughing! Idiotic idiots!" Yusin then says that this is Trump's way of communicating before adding that Ukraine should get nothing from the United States in terms of military aid.
So a Russian talking head is parroting our own corporate media's talking heads. ...why should that concern me?
Russian State TV Mocks Donald Trump Supporters Of course. Biden good, Trump bad. He knows what is in his best interest.
There's two factors that play into this. First, they know how much deplorables hate being mocked, so this will galvanize Trump supporters and help Trump win. Second, they also know that a fool like Trump winning the presidency is proof that the American system of government doesn't work well. They do have contempt for Trump and his supporters (deservedly), but he is better for their interests.
of course Russians want Trump to win, they know they can run circles around the man anytime they like.
....watch Young Turks...MAGA's at their best.....there's one video where some bloke's asked a question and his brain actually seizes up...
It is interesting that they've gone from publicly backing Trump to talking like this, and I don't know if it's part of a wider shift or if this is something of an exception to the rule. Might be they want to create the illusion of distance after being so overtly pro-Trump that there are perhaps fears that the association could harm Trump politically in the coming election. Being seen as a friend and ally to Putin is not helpful to any American presidential candidate right now, so maybe they just want to do their part to help Trump this way.
It's Russia mind games, - pretending to favor Biden is the classic "kiss of Judas". Of course they want Trump to win. Insulting Trump supporters is designed to motivate them to supporters him even more
My thoughts on this, simplify the motive and chalk it up to Duginism style propaganda where up is down and down is up. It's all about flooding the zone with **** and mentally wearing "you" out.
So for all of us that are a bit older, take yourself back 40 years and imagine that the GOP is now sucking Russian...
