I swear to God there were pictures of people at Jan 6 wearing "Better Dead than Red" shirts, of the sort that have been around since at least the 80s if not earlier. Expected, predictable, cold war era bumper sticker phrasing on a shirt that I'm pretty sure I've been seeing worn by roughly the same kind of personality all this time. The kind of personality who was still calling Russians "the commies" ten years ago.
It's as if the right forgot all their decades of being ready to kill Russians/Soviets at the drop of a hat, to immediately turn Putin into one of their folk heroes. I get that's the power of corruption but like - do we just pretend this wasn't the most vocally anti-Russian segment of US society up until roughly 4 years ago?
