The modern Republican Party + Putin = True Love because have common goals.
For decades now, Russia has been âbeckoningâ to Americaâs far right wing, presenting Russia as the savior of white majority rule. (Timothy Snyderâs word)

2/ This includes Russians infiltrating the NRA and helping radicalize the NRA as a right wing extremist groupâbut thatâs for another post.
The GOP Russia love affair has been evident for some time.

3/ Remember when Tucker Carlson said the U.S. should ârethink Americaâs alliances.â

4/ Here is Katie Hopkins (with pal Ann Coulter) saying âPutin rocks.â https://www.rt.com/uk/429777-katie-hopkins-russia-multiculturalism/
She">https://www.rt.com/uk/429777... praises Russia as being âuntouched by the myth of multiculturalism and deranged diversity.â
Putinâs regime, remember, is built on homophobia and fear of those who are different.

5/ One more example because it& #39;s instructive.
Paul Hasson, they guy who planned to mass murder liberals, talked of âLooking to Russia with hopeful eyes . . .â https://www.scribd.com/document/400108811/Hasson-motion-for-Detention
Putin">https://www.scribd.com/document/... and the modern GOP want the same things.
They& #39;re soul mates

6/ Putin would like:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ " title="Rautenform mit Punkt im Inneren" aria-label="Emoji: Rautenform mit Punkt im Inneren">The U.S. to become a Russian style oligarchy
The GOP imitates Putin& #39;s tactics. He& #39;s their hero.
Putin entirely privatized the Russian government and put all wealth into the hands of a few white men.

The">https://buchanan.org/blog/whos... Russia - Republican love affair has been conducted in open view.
Why, then, are people surprised?

9/ For the past several years we& #39;ve been hit with such a tsunami of spectacle and crisis that people can& #39;t step back and assimilate what& #39;s going on.
That& #39;s Putin& #39;s method of governing, by the way. From @TimothyDSnyder: Create so much crisis that nobody can focus.

10/ What is happening is that Putin is leading the way toward the kind of society the Republicans want: An oligarchy in which government is privately owned and privately controlled by a few wealthy men.
Sometimes I think we& #39;re better off now that the GOP isn& #39;t trying to hide it.
