I've known some anti-Russian conservatives, but unfortunately, there is a significant portion of conservatives, mostly Trump cultists, who have effortlessly made the swap into believing that Russia is defending White Christian Civilization against the Woke Hordes.
Memes are, by their nature, reductive, so if this doesn't apply to you, I don't mean to assert otherwise. My own mother is a conservative, if a somewhat odd one, who does not support Russia. But there is a major current of pro-Russian sentiment and 'neutral' 'just asking questions' coursing through modern American conservatism.
