As you might know Zelensky gets long standing ovations in the EU and got one here before Congress. And the Press and Twitter mob are hammering the small number of members of Congress that did not stand and clap for Zelensky while most clapped like seals for several minutes.
How could those scoundrels not clap? Damn traitors! Ship 'em off to the gulag!
Here's one article about it:

This reminds me of a story Alexander Solzhenitsyn told in The Gulag Archipelago.
It was the 30's and purges mostly of older communist members were going on left and right. There was a conference presided over by a new secretary who had replaced the one that had been arrested. At the conclusion a tribute to Stalin was called for. Everyone immediately stood up and started clapping. A standing ovation. One minute, two minutes, three minutes the clapping went on.
Four minutes, five minutes, six minutes. Out of fear no one wanted to be the first to stop clapping. Who would have the courage to be the first to stop? The new Secretary could have done it but he was scared to death because of the old secretary arrested and shipped of to the gulag.
Seven minutes, eight minutes! The Secretary and the leaders up front were not going to quit come hell or high water. Then after eleven minutes one of the leaders up front quit clapping and sat down. Everyone in the room stopped dead in their tracks and sat down.
It was those kind of situations that Stalin determined who the independent thinkers were. Later that night the person that was first to quit clapping was arrested. Ten years in the gulag.
This is what's in store for Americans if the woke mob gets its way. No more independent thinking.
