In 3 ½ weeks we went from "You can't have hateful speech" to "Kill the Jews."
ETA:
"Remember 2016-2020 when leftists claimed Nazis were everywhere, under every rock, it was just a matter of time til they were all revealed?
After the 10/7 attacks in Israel, it turns out they were right."

"Pro Russia" is a tribal strawman anyway, obviously.
Ok, replace with “support pro-Russia policies”. The point stands.
It's not much of a point if the policy is intended to be pro-USA.

That seems nonsensical. But I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt if you’d like to explain. Maybe I’m missing something.
You can be specific about the pro-Russia policies you're referring to. If their intent is to support the usa, with an incidental side effect of being advantageous to Russia as compared to an opposing policy, then a framing that the policy is pro-russia, would be rhetorically disingenuous.

Your implications serve your technically standing point, but they are not a generally accepted interpretation of how that language works. If a policy drafted by a politician is said to be "pro-something or other", the intent will fairly be inferred. Your point stands, as long as we limit the audience to people who don't make the common assumptions that topple it. Fair enough.
