Cuz there's a pretty well documented history of black people being compared to primates to paint them as primitive and backwards.
The response to the War in Ukraine blew any credibility that argument had out of the water.
The term "cowboy" actually specifically referred to rustlers and horse thieves back in the old west. Actual cattle herders were usually called stockmen or drovers, to call one a cowboy was considered an insult.
I could be President if the Christian Virgins Chess and Anime Fans Club and be cooler than this.

Not super sure but probably partially because there was social pressure to do so as the Communist Party became more engrained into broader Russian society, and partially because Stalin was himself more socially conservative than many of his early Bolshevik peers.
If you skim the Wikipedia page for "homosexuality in Russia", even they admit many of the early Bolsheviks had pretty progressive views on gay rights for the time. Issue was they only really ever had luck enacting anything in major city centers like Moscow and St Petersburg. Turns out you can just magically make an undeveloped, mostly rural agrarian society become socially progressive by just willing it to be.
There'd really be not point unless the PSL was strong enough to form its own institutions and armed groups to combat any coup attempts.
If the PSL candidate won by some miraculous fluke, like a bunch of people protest voting or something, they probably wouldn't even need to wait to get JFKed, the Supreme Court could probably just pull some bullshit out their ass to nullify their victory.

But dudes clearly speaking to a public sentiment here.
Better this time, largely because I figured out how trams work.
Think I'm gonna try a third time and space a proper grid out.

Sadly the Republic of Steve has issues training surveyors, so getting things perfectly symmetrical is a challenge.
Lol I don't WANT it to be true that historically black people have been compared to monkeys to paint them as undeveloped and savage. To me it's in the same vain as people calling Russians "orks".
