- vkou 6y agoA few points. 1. There's a clear continuity of goose-stepping in Russia from a time that long predates Putin. 2. We have goose-stepping in the United States, too, that long predates Trump, and will almost certainly outlast him. It doesn't look like weird one-handed salutes, it looks like a daily recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance.
