"Mustang behaves worse"

National Unity Day against the backdrop of overseas elections

Four years ago, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, having contacted the 60 minutes program, invited experts and leading to join the deputies of the State Duma and all together to raise glasses with champagne for the victory of Donald Trump in the US presidential election. Immediately, one of the quick TV officers jumped out of the curtains with a tray laid down with filled glasses. But the presenters Olga Skabeeva and Evgeny Popov for some reason were embarrassed and canceled the drink in the studio, suggesting marking a joyful event behind the curtains immediately after the broadcast.

Then the head of RT Margarita Simonyan wrote her famous tweet: “I want to go around Moscow with an American flag in the car window today. If I find the flag. Join. They deserve it today. ” Soon she added: “In general, I go this way today: in one window - our flag, in the other - American. I symbolize the mir-friend-yellow advance. ”

An advance, alas, did not work. The chewing gum again had to chew. Trump, who did not live up to the expectations of Russian propagandists, was inclined into the tail and in the mane.

Years passed. New elections arrived. And the same experts began to convince the Russians with renewed vigor of the imperfection of the American electoral system and the unpredictability of the result from which citizens of the once great country suffer.

In the current show “60 minutes”, myths were debunked about the so-called independence and openness of the election there. “In Russia, it is believed that in America there are no violations and falsifications. No carousels. This is completely wrong. The voter registered his own dog and received a ballot for it ... About 20 million were registered with errors. About a million dead were registered ... whoever got into the presidential chair, he will be in the Mustang. And this Mustang behaves worse and worse. The one who sits on the Mustang will not sit on it for a long time ... "

The Belarusian political scientist Alexander Shpakovsky expressed special concern to the imperfection of the American elections, before that the main commentator of post -breasted events in his homeland, invariably with Paphos, calling Lukashenko “My President”. “Anxious situation,” he says. - The situation is complicated. Cruelty in American society lives - historically this is confirmed. ” Skabeeva is also horrified: "To vote under machine guns, this is no gate."

Margarita Simonyan had to remove the American flag in the trunk this time. She regretfully states: “There is: 1. Numerous violations. 2. Lack of foreign observers. 3. The opacity of the process and the complexity of the electoral legislation, excluding the direct expression of citizens. 4. Numerous messages about corruption. 5. The bias of the lighting of election campaigns with the obvious bias of the vast majority of the media in relation to one of the candidates. 6. Censorship at the main media sites. 7. A natural folk protest. ”

Someone, having read this post in Feibuka, even thought that Simonyan was seeing and finally openly described the domestic elected realities. No, of course, this is all about them, like its next sobbing sob: "Neither free nor fair."

In the program “Big Politics” on the First Channel in the late evening of November 4, the authoritative experts also sentenced the American elections, during which he could not understand who could come to power. They themselves campaigned for Trump.

Quite according to Shakespeare: "It is better to put up with a familiar evil than a flight to a stranger to strive!"

“The Americans want a law and order, and today only Trump symbolizes the law and order” (Andranik Migranan). “Trump is an American Stolypin. He says: we need great America, and you are great shocks. He repeatedly said that he wanted to meet with Putin, but in the so -called free country he was confused on his arms and legs. But at a new time he will meet with Putin, and they will certainly agree ”(Vitaly Tretyakov). The mentor of young journalists, Tretyakov now, intends to debunk the myth of freedom in the United States and the absence of censorship in the example of the vaunted American media.

They have a total censorship! “And anyway: no matter how liberal media threshed Trump, no matter how they mocked him, and look - he was still in the election and is quite competent,” either the American political scientist Dmitry Sims refuted the words of Russian colleagues.

By pure chance, post -collection overseas battles coincided with the public day of popular unity in Russia, and the holiday of an already rather vague content completely faded against the backdrop of American passions. There were jokes in social networks: "How did you spend the Day of National Unity?" “Together with the whole Russian people, he followed the American elections.” Ivan Urgant also cut on the same topic: “We are sitting at the table set, and in America they gnaw at each other's throats. We are together, but America is not one. ”

In a satirical picture, which received thousands of reposts, they meet on a village path a man in a quilted jacket and a woman with buckets. “They have not yet considered Pennsylvania and Michigan,” the “foreign observer” shares his main concern.

On the night after the election, the Russia 24 channel provided the opportunity to join the voting especially indifferent to Russian citizens, displaying a special QR code and instructions on how to vote using their own smartphone. You bring it to this square, click and give your vote behind Trump or Biden. Fascinating. Old -timers in Russia recall that they (there was time) did not sleep, peering intently at interest on the screens. It was, yes it passed.

And to cheer (in a good sense of the word) hunting. The whole world clung to the screens and wonders who will win there and what will happen next. All information channels of the world in the mode of many hours of telemarathon on the air demonstrate infographics, take the air of analysts, give forecasts. It is sometimes nice to feel like a citizen of the world, then to fall off from TVs and computers with a sense of deep satisfaction:

Well, to hell, this unpredictability! How glorious when everything is stable and predictable for years to come!

And while their Trump is dancing and throwing red baseball caps to his supporters in the stands, our president is sedately, without bustling, celebrates the Day of National Unity along with a patriotic youth.

Red Square is sterile and empty. Covid. However, our president is not afraid of him, despite belonging to the age group 65+, which is strictly ordered to sit at home. Having left after a long “remote” on the fresh air, without a mask and gloves, without observing a social distance with young patriots, Putin listens to a bell ringing, and it immediately shows how many thoughts he leads.
