(39,343 posts)Or they've been promised that Putin will let them enslave the brown people and kill the gay people. 99% of the religious right would sign on to destroy America for those two promises.
We've surpassed the idea of "good Germans". There are a lot of Muricans who'd welcome our Soviet overlords, as long as they'll let them persecute the groups they hate. It might not sound like "master race" bullshit, but it's exactly the case.
That aunt that we all have on Facebook who constantly shares thinly veiled racist memes and her picture is the Thin Blue Line or Blue Lives Matter, she's a pro-Soviet Nazi sympathizer. She'd welcome the destruction of America in order to further her racist (and christian) ideals. We've all got this aunt and I've got a dozen family members like this.

It may also be why trump picked who he picked for the Supreme Court position , they had more on him to use against him for control of his votes, and used for Kennedy's exit now.
