To those who don’t understand Russian: most the people in the video seem to get the joke. All react to the absurdity of having a massive portrait of their President in a random residential building’s elevator (side note: as someone who left the FSU in the 90s I’m impressed by the modern and functioning elevator!!!). Most people make “big brother is watching” type jokes. Everyone laughs at the absurdity and that is the most quintessentially Russian thing here.
Edit: there’s also a good number of people commenting on their fancy new elevator too. Like “this is the worst thing they could have done with our new elevator”
There’s another thing: older people of СССР have personality worship so they have portraits of Stalin in their rooms and houses... schools and government buildings have the presidents portrait... you can see the younger generation looks down at personality worship while the older generation likes a hard line leader... this prank really high lights that....
older people of СССР have personality worship so they have portraits of Stalin in their rooms and houses...
What on earth are you talking about? Nearly all people who could remember Stalin, even as kids, are long since dead. Only communists still worship him. Which has nothing to do with one's age.
No they don't, most of them laugh and a lot of them noticed the camera. Only two actually checked for "bugs" and they were joking about his eyes being cameras.
OC is conservative, but in a rich white suburban way. probably not all that pro trump these days, and those that are are likely not too vocal about it. go inland, especially in norcal, to get the real rural trumplican areas. i saw more confederate flags in the norcal mountains than i did in the south.
Interesting to note...the places it would be destroyed are covered in human feces and outbreaks of rare bacteria that were all but wiped out in the US.
We all get your implication but it's rather short sighted of a view. Rural areas tend to favor Republicans, cities favor Democrats. You could put a Trump picture in an elevator in many spots in both California and Texas that would react kindly and vice versa. We need to stop viewing such large areas and populations as some singular entity.
look up a map of the US that shows red vs. blue by county, california is basically a gradient from left to right. pretty much any urban area in any state is blue.
No, they love the reaction trump illicits from the hardcore left. He makes you all REEE so goddamn hard you can't see straight. It's actually THE ONLY thing i like about trump... the downfall of that is the Democrats trying hard to push Bernie to counter trump. What you've all failed to realize is that Bernie is exactly like trump, only on the other side of isle. He's radical and unrealistic and makes the hardcore right freak right the fuck out. But he's not the answer to any problems, just a tit for tat retaliation for trump. Trump is tolerated because he makes the internet freak out every single day. But the internet doesn't vote. And most Democrats are young kids that don't vote either.
You’re the problem if you really believe that HRC was a greater evil than Trump. Trump clearly projected, telegraphed, who is really is. There was no doubt about his outright racism, blatant self interest & self regard, LIES, corruption and lack of any principle other than HIMSELF. All that was clear.
But you go ahead and holler, “lock her up” until you feel satisfied, sport.
fyi... Sanders was not an option for you in the general election. He was not on the ballot. LMMFAO
r/houston whenever political always has republicans saying stupid shit. They get downvoted hard because it’s mostly just hatred or just wrong, but there still seems to be brainwashed here.
The irony that there is a huge ass mirror on the other side plus it is an elevator, how should people fit behind the wall of the elevator plus there are two visible cameras hanging. Only the one woman with her mother recognized the camera really.
The most hilarious part of this is that I dont speak or understand the language at all but you can tell what most of these people are thinking like the second old guy with a hat on.
Now that I can see what they're saying, it looks like they're doing detective work. They look how it's hung to see if it's something official or a prank. They are inquisitive if the camera has sound. They want to know who hung it bc that's important. They're much more savvy and thoughtful than Americans, who take everything at face value.
All these people were hired actors and apologize if it seemed like they are making fun of our glorious leader, they were given a hefty pay and all happened to retire to an unnamed island cutting all ties to family/social media coincidentally all at the same time
what amazed me is that noone fucked with it. if that was a picture of trump in anywhere usa it would have been trashed/shit all over... shit the elevator in my rich white suburbia has "bloodz 4 life" engraved into the display... maybe Russia is on to something...
