Texas couple in Russia as an allegory

So this Texas couple moved to Russia to escape the Biden LGBT agenda.
The husband is now killed in Ukraine (being forced into service) a the wife and children will probably end up in bad straights.

But isn't this the MAGA in a nut shell, but instead they are turning this country in to Russia (or a Russia satellite State) to stop a fantasy liberal agenda they only imagine exists.

They are killing themselves (and us along with them) because of their skewed, propaganda driven view of "reality".

after being promised he would be given a non-combat welding job, so this might become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

That story had one shady source and that was it. He is alive as per family.
