It’s because they’re cowards. They’ve always been.
They’re not just cowards, they’re greedy capitalists.
Economic systems exist beyond socialism and capitalism. The GQP want a dictatorship. Bend the knee or we’ll use state power to punish you. If it was as simple as capitalism, Disney would still have their weird pseudo-government thing.
That’s true that there are more systems, but I think most Republican politicians are just capitalists despite everyone playing the Christofascist game that was unlocked recently because Trump proved it wins votes. If they could win elections to be in power to steal more money just by being Bush neocons, then I think they’d do that.
There are a few true believers, just like with Christianity itself (albeit a distorted version), among Republicans but I really think they aren’t so ideological at core. They have a price, and Putin paid it.
Хорошая новость! I understand correctly that the main thing is the well-being of America and Europe, and the Russians should die because they create problems…
Russian soldiers murdering people in another people’s land should go home is they don’t want to die.
There was a time the GOP would have fought tooth and nail against the Soviet Union. Now that it’s called Russia, it funnels money to the GOP. They act as useful idiots to the Soviet Union 2.0.
And I can’t figure out how people still support them. US citizens have a high tolerance for idiots.
I blame Ronald Reagan. People think when he implored Gorbachev to “tear down that wall” that the US had penetrated the Soviet Union. We didn’t it fell apart and oligarchs seized power like warlords do. Now we have an autocratic regime that vehemently and violently crushes diversions to its goal of unlimited power. The same goal that the Republicans have.
You know, there’s a difference between modern Russia and soviet Russia, soviet Russia posed an actual ideological threat to America whereas modern Russia is just kinda irritating and is threatening to hurt our economic dominance. There’s a reason that Russia is a partisan squabble now and back then it was pitched as a nonpartisan fight of good versus evil.
Add Israel and Saudi Arabia to the list and they’ve got my support.
