Those are liberals accusing GOP members of being Putin plants. Get your shit straight.
They didn’t seem too jazzed based on that chant.
Should have went with:
Hammer & sickle!
Hammer & sickle!
Our work ethic ain’t worth a nickel!
Hammer & sickle!
Hammer & sickle!
We’re out here cause no one wants our pickle!

I saw the thread title and thought it was another Lying Donnie Sexual Abuser rally in New York. But I realized it was not when I noticed a lack of confederate flags, American flag bib overalls, war paint, feather headdress and misspelled signs. And an abundance of teeth.
I love this thread, for the comment hidden at the end:

Wow, I haven't seen bullshit this biased in a while. The Soviet Union were many things but hardly a 3rd world country.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say you're under 40.
Without further ado, Communist New Years!
The celebration of the New Year in the USSR was allowed only in the post-war period, in 1947, at the same time, January 1 became a holiday. Prior to this, it was believed that the Christmas tree was put up only by "bourgeois suckers-up", which in secret from the Soviet authorities celebrated "old tsarists holidays.
Until the very last days in the USSR, there was not an established "New Year tree industry" , trees were fetched from wherever - in large cities, there were fir-tree bazaars in some places, but more often there was selling outright slag - more or less decent New Year trees were likely to be sold with a small extra to "our people "and did not reach the mass market.
It was quite normal to just go into the woods and cut down the New year tree - which was often marked down in autumn or even in summer.
Somewhere in the seventies appeared a tradition to celebrate the New Year watching the TV - by that time the TVs had already spread quite massively, programs like "Blue Light" (all nigh concert of mostlly singers) appeared, and in 1970 Brezhnev read the "New Year's Address to the People" for the first time in the USSR. In 1986, an interesting event occurred - Gorbachev wished the United States Happy New Year, and the Reagan did the same for the people of the USSR on New Year's Eve.
To set up a New Year's table, Soviet citizens began to prepare in advance, for several weeks, if not months - the "New Year" products were scarce, and they had to be bought long before. The "classic" setting for the Soviet New Year table looked something like this - Bulgarian green peas, Baltic sprats, Far Eastern squid (later - crab sticks), smoked sausage, Abkhazian mandarins, necessarily mayonnaise and Soviet "champagne".
Another rule of good taste was the presence on the table of store purchased cakes - most often they were inferior in quality to the home-made cakes (they were made with margarine, they were covered with fatty oily cream and decorated with acid-coloured roses), but here it was not quality that was valued, but the status of the thing - the cake, gotten after long wait in queues was considered expensive and hard-to-get refreshments.On the photo: people queue to the store called "Cakes."
A happy customer: after long fighting a man is exiting a store, carrying two cakes in cardboard boxes over his had so as not to squash him. There was a set limit on how many you were allowed to buy.
For smoked sausage, too, there were long lines - this sausage was valued because it was almost impossible to add paper (as to the boiled sausages), which made it quite a good meat product. Sausage was bought as a delicacy for the festive table, and as a gift - to come to visit with a stick of smoked sausage and a shop cake was considered something of good taste.
On the New Year in the USSR it was customary to go a- visiting - one also had to begin preparations long before. On a visit it was necessary to show one's the best side - a man should have been in a suit or at least in a pressed shirt, and women - "with hairstyles" - on New Year's days hairdressers worked in a full mode.
A good gift was considered food - a purchased cake, a set of cakes, fruit or some kind of wine. It was also possible to bring a box of chocolates or just a bag of tangerines.
If you wanted to give something more serious, then you had to try harder - waiting and fighting in a queue, or having a shop assistant you knew, you could buy a can of good canned food (especial chic was red or black caviar), good tea or some deficit perfume.
Soviet wives worked hard, cleaning the flat and cooking the food, while the husband ran around the stores, trying to buy deficit food.
