It's all relative. Just because things are better in the EU than in Russia, it does not mean the situation is not in need of some deep changes in the EU. I mean, I moved to Sweden from Portugal, because the issues with Portugal were big enough that I felt it wasn't worth it to stay. But on the other hand a bunch of Brazilians have recently fled to Portugal in search of something better, partly because of Bolsonaro, and the fact that I left Portugal does not mean that the Brazilians who moved to Portugal were wrong or unwise.
Too often the choices we are faced with are several ****ty ones, and we have to make do with whatever is less bad. Even if the less bad is a bunch of easily hate-able klepto/technocrats.
