Apparently this is a poster from the "referendum" campaign:



(from CBS News's Elizabeth Palmer on Twitter)

I'm sure the Crimean Tartars have fond memories of being falsely accused of being Nazis and being sent to the gulags, where something like half died. Accusing ethnic minorities in Crimea of being Nazis makes you almost as bad as the Nazis.

So clearly the next step should be for any town in Crimea that is Tatar or Ukrainian majority to vote on secession.

Also, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug should vote to join Alaska.

Yes, there are some Tartars that are ok with the annexation. And some Jews in France vote National Front, probably. And you can even, most likely, find a gay black guy in Manhattan who is a Republican.

Actually, Manhattan probably has the most black gays of anywhere.

Of course. And how many of those are Republican?

forgot the pubbie part

There's got to be like 1% who vote Republican because they make $600,000 a year and want lower taxes.
