Russophobia is not helpful

Being against President Putin and some of his supporters in the Ukrainian Invasion, sure is helpful! But, being against Russians simply because they are Russian is not good.

Yes, the title is correct and why, because of refugees! The left wing and Representative Ocasio-Cortez are often accused of supporting refugees to get votes or due to their obsession with non-White and non-Christian populations. These are many of the accusations from the right wing and others closer to center. And when Democrats do not
