Tired of America? Russia’s new “shared values” visa program wants you! Learn all about how you can ditch Uncle Sam and wokeness on “The TMI Show “with hosts Ted Rall and Manila Chan! Since President Vladimir Putin started the program a year ago, nearly 700 conservative Americans, have been granted “spiritual asylum” under a new Russian “anti-woke” visa. Promoted by Russian state media, the program frames Russia as a haven for traditional family values. Disillusionment with U.S. politics, gender debates, and immigration are all reasons for Americans to move, and many like Putin’s policies. But breaking up with the U.S. is not always easy—some families face fraud, frozen accounts, and bureaucratic nightmares. Not to mention, the challenge of learning Russian! Steve Gill, who has spent time in Russia, joins the discussion.
Backed by Maria Butina and RT, Russia is pitching itself as a conservative utopia, offering affordable healthcare, free education, and traditional gender norms. Is this a genuine refuge or a geopolitical flex? Tune in to see whether you want to become a “values refugee.”
