They were much more pro-American than the teabaggers or the trumpolistas. On the one hand they were loyal to Mother Russia, on the other hand the liked milkshakes, Levi's, clothes washing machines and Rock 'n Roll. You knew what you were dealing with. They did not want to kill Americans like the modern day conservatives do.
