American father in Texas moves his family to Russia to escape wokism

I live in a deep blue state that might be a little less 'woke' than some but definitely is 'woke' so far as the Democrat mentality is concerned. The districting lines have been drawn to ensure the Democrats will remain in power here and will have Democrat representation in Washington in perpetuity.

I have gay friends and family but only one or two who are in our faces about all that and those mostly stay away from us.

For the most part among the folks I associate with here in real life, on Facebook, etc. I am blessedly not required to deal with, talk about, recognize, or allow any sociopolitical ideology of any kind if I don't want to deal with that. Folks who find their kids exposed to it in school mostly homeschool here and their kids are doing just fine with plenty of opportunity to socialize at Church and in other activities.

I can't imagine giving up all the liberty and opportunity the USA still offers here despite a Democrat Party that would largely like to take all that away. I can't imagine not being able to find an American community in which you can live your life and values without a lot of hassle from people who don't share those values.
I live in a deep blue city rife with woke ideology and LGBTQ folks. I just don't pay any attention to them. Since I got older and lost my good looks the gay guys stopped hitting on me (the gals too). :(
 

The Huffman Family





A Texan father who moved his family to Russia to escape “woke” America has been sent to the front line.

Derek Huffman, 46, relocated to the small town of Istra, around 25 miles from Moscow, with his wife, their three daughters and their husky earlier this year.

They did this through Russia’s “shared values” visa scheme, aimed at attracting foreigners who reject what Vladimir Putin calls “destructive neoliberal ideology”.

“The final straw was when we found out my daughter Sophia learnt about lesbians from a girl in her class. She didn’t fully understand it, but for us, that was enough to realise something had to change,” Mr Huffman told Russia Today.

A trip to Moscow in May 2023 convinced the family that Russia offered the traditional values they desired.


“The city was cleaner, safer, and more orderly than we ever imagined. Most importantly, we found a place that respected our values – where we finally felt at home,” Mr Huffman continued.

Unfortunately for the father, he has been dragged into the Ukranian war. I feel for that family as I do for all families in the US that are trying to escape the gender cult and sexual revolution cult of the DNC. I'm not sure if he could have found a more conservative state in the US than Texas, but even there they have no ability to escape it because it is so pervasive.

I mean, where in the world can you go these days to escape it?
That was stupid. Now the father can be conscripted to fight in Ukraine.

Jul 21, 2025 — A Texan father who moved his family to Russia to escape “woke” America has been sent to the front line. Derek Huffman, 46, relocated to the
small town of Istra, around 25 miles from Moscow, with his wife, their three daughters and their husky earlier this year.

They did this through Russia’s “shared values” visa scheme, aimed at attracting foreigners who reject what Vladimir Putin calls “destructive neoliberal ideology”.


Mr Huffman had initially agreed to join the Russian military in a non-combat capacity, thinking at first he would be a welder and later a war correspondent.

But despite having no experience as a soldier and limited understanding of the Russian language, he has been sent “near” the front line in the war with Ukraine, according to his wife.

DeAnna Huffman said her husband felt he was being “thrown to the wolves” given that he had only received a limited amount of training, and that it was in Russian.

Well I'm going to say it it's only proper. When you re+house yourself and repatriate yourself to a new home country you owe them whatever it is they ask of you.

This country was no different in the mid-19th century to the mid 20th century. Many immigrants just off the boat we're drafted directly into the army prior to world war two. There's nothing unusual about this at all.

Even 40 year old clips of trump in his 40s show how disgusting he was for creeping on teen aged beauty pageant girls.

Everybody knows who he is....
His life was very public long before he came down the escalator.
I never cared for the guy.... But he was still the best choice.
Everybody knew who Jeffery Dahmer was too.
 
What are you trying to "escape"? Homosexuals are less than 3% of the population, and transgenders are a less than 1%.

If you have to leave an entire country to escape something which is a statistical anomaly, then that shows you just spend way too much time thinking about it.


Right, Russia is ranked close to China in terms of rights and freedoms:


A 'statistical anomaly' has become the prevalent talking point on every social media platform and every television show or movie.

It's everywhere you look or read, have you been living under a rock?
