Has Right Wing Media Shifted its Support to Russian Oligarchy and Putin?

Seems that it has.

If this got posted somewhere else here, I didn't see it. I got the link to the Post editorial from one of the MSNBC programs the other night, I think Rachel Maddow. I'm surprised this isn't generating more outrage and attention, or maybe it is and I missed it.

What in the world has happened to people in this country?

They admire Putin's anti-LGBTQ positions, the fact that Russia is even more racist than the USA (with students from Africa openly assaulted and killed if they're naive enough to seek a degree in Russia) and, most importantly, the stronger authoritarianism there.
