I’m old enough to remember when the right was saying “better dead than red” (referring to the Soviet Union, not to “red/Republicans”). They went from “better dead than red” to “better Russian than Democrat” scarily quickly.
It’s because they are against “Communism”, whatever that means, but the modern Russian state is seen by them as a model Capitalist country. They’re more likely to consider someone from San Francisco a Communist than someone from Russia.
It’s an Oligarchy, of course, but they see themselves as Oligarchs-in-training.
That’s why Russia is putting up an internet-wide firewall. They know how effective they’ve been at weakening their enemies by manipulating conversations on the internet. They nearly took down our whole country not too long ago. And they are still dangerously close, as seen in the above story.
There’s a bunch of people at the side of the road by the local mall every day with tons of flags and signs like “good bless America because Biden doesn’t” and “defund 🇺🇦 refund 🇺🇸”. Yet during protests by democrats they’re all going on about how the democrats protesting must have no jobs and should be working instead of protesting.
It’s pretty insidious. I’ve seen Republicans wearing shirts that say things like, “I’d rather be Russian than Democrat.”
