Re: How Putin hoodwinked American conservatives — Adam Zivo, March 10; Liberal minister says he expects U.S. voices against Trump tariffs to ‘get louder’ in coming weeks — Rahim Mohamed, Feb. 7; and Zelenskyy chastised for not wearing suit at Trump meeting. Here’s why he opts for casual attire — March 3

Forget Adam Zivo’s soft take that American conservatives have been misled, “hoodwinked” by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Whether duped or devout, they are cloning themselves after a dictator whose stench of authoritarianism is unmistakable. Serious people — left, right or centre — need to tune in. American conservatism is rotting from within, and it’s not just their problem but a problem for democracy worldwide.
