Imagine people in your home state struggling, the entire US economic system is going upside down, and you choose to leave your country to go make propaganda for a country that's actively harming brown people in the global south.
It would be as crazy as if there was an ice storm coming to Texas and they flew to California.
There's this misogynistic angle that they think the best way to prove that they're straight and to prove that they're not gay is to take away women's right to choose what they want to do with their bodies.
So there's this kind of four-pronged approach to kind of throw people off the trail.
