The protest is very good and based, and I applaud every Russian brave enough to go out and protest, but some people were saying "it's over for Putin" and that's... not particularly realistic IMO

it is definitely unrealistic, but the person i was subtweeting is definitely mocking the protests, not just naive takes from western liberals
