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.

Soviet Union was communist.
Putin is an autocrat.

Because followers of a cult are more concerned with harming others, even if it happens themselves slightly less.

They can’t see past their own noses. They don’t want any government spending on things that don’t directly affect them in a beneficial way.
