Alex Jones Considers Leaving U.S., And Social Media Approves
HuffPost
One person asked the high-strung talk show host if he needed help packing or a GoFundMe for a one-way plane ticket.
Right-wing talk show host and provocateur Alex Jones suggested he might leave the U.S. for Russia, and social media seemed very excited about the prospect.
Jones’ suggestion came after Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree that, according to The Moscow Times, allows foreign citizens and stateless individuals to apply for temporary residency “if they share ‘traditional Russian spiritual and moral values,’ even in cases when a person does not speak Russian.”
The decree seems tailor-made for Jones since it allows people who oppose the “destructive neoliberal ideological agenda” in their home country to seek “humanitarian support” from the Russian authorities by applying for a temporary residence permit.
Jones seemed into the idea on Monday and posted on X, formerly Twitter, that “if you’re ready to reject the insane policies of your home countries that push these destructive, anti-human, neoliberal agendas, Russia is rolling out the red carpet!”
And, yes, part of the post was in all-caps, the universally recognized sign that someone isn’t the slightest bit strange. Thanks for asking.
