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.
