Being a kid of the 80s and living on the tail end of the Cold War this is just so weird.
The Republicans then, under Reagan, really viewed the Russians with disdain. We were constantly told - both by them, school, and the media, how Russia and Communism was the greatest evil on this planet.
Now all I see every time I turn on the news is some shadow of a Republican, gargling the balls of a Russian leader or representative.
It’s WEIRD I tell you, it’s like that movie The Manchurian Candidate is playing out only they’ve replaced the whole party.
Republicans now see how much money the leaders of modern Russian are siphoning out of the countries coffers, and realise they can do that too in the US.
I remember Republicans warning in the 80s that the Russians would attack America from within. Made sense, the way the KGB operated.
Republicans (and liberal democrats) hated communist russia.
Well you say the communist evil was defeated by Reagan in the Nineties. History ended there, according to one asian dude. It was clearly the Communist thing that made Russia evil. The other co-word, corruption is actually a good thing.
The documentary "The Family" offers the explanation that Russia has a strong traditional family values contingent that appeals to the right-wing idealogy.
And here I was thinking the source of their appeal was all the political corruption and fascistic tendencies
this guy and family values???
In 20s we had Jews, now this position was taken by gays and trans. Fascists always need an enemy to rile up others.
Well they're voting for a rapist who cheated on all of his 4 wifes, in case you still thought they actually cared for family values.
Yes, because "family values" means anti gay and anti abortion.
