It's easily explained, although no less surreal. In the McCarthy era, it was easy to whip people up into a frenzy over the Soviet Union, an avowed enemy of America, due to nuclear paranoia and a desire to continue the post-WW2 economic boom America was experiencing that was attributed to Republican policies. In 2024, all the Republicans stand for is political obstructionism and contrarianism to whatever the Democrats are talking about. Democrats want to protect NATO and Ukraine? Republicans are against that.

More than likely, between Putin and Trump and the rest of the modern GOP, there is some cheese pizza and child sex trafficking rings that keep all of them in a Mexican stand off with each other and it definitely has a non-zero relation to Epstein.
