If I were a Republican, I’d be embarrassed. The foreign enemies of the US want the GOP to win every election. How can they see that and not feel shame over what they’ve become? They are the domestic mouthpieces of America’s enemies.
Read the Conservapedia pages on Russia, Putin, and NATO sometime. The far-right is firmly pro-Putin now, and see his Russian autocracy as a model for the US to follow under Trump.
Never did, TBH. Conservapedia has been a meme since the 2000s, when it was infamous for being “Wikipedia for young-earth creationists.” It’s all propaganda BS, but useful as a window into what the extremist fringe is thinking.
The Republicans who are embarrassed over this aren’t Republicans anymore. There might be one or two who still are willing to publicly declare Russia a geopolitical enemy, but they are an endangered species.
Now, you basically have two kinds of Republicans: The ones who privately see Russia as an enemy but say “the right things” to get more power and the ones that cozy up to Russia because they see Russia as a template to follow for turning America into a fascist, white supremacist dictatorship.

My God there are straight up lies on that page. Like the economic claims in the very first paragraph. They just don’t care anymore do they?
Edit, I’m saving this for later. When I have more alcohol to properly laugh at lines like, “Russia has the most professional army in the world.”

Thinking may not be the right word here.
I just wanted to say holy fucking shit, I didn’t know Conservapedia was a thing.
And all of it sounds like it was written by a 7th grader who was being told what to type directly by Putin while his dick was in the kid’s mouth.
I didn’t know about Conservapedia, but I’m not surprised something like this exists. Alternative facts and all…
That’s gotta be a russian troll website.
No, unfortunately not. Been around for a while. Republicans didn’t like how they couldn’t control Wikipedia, so they decided to make their own.
Just because it existed before doesn’t mean it hasn’t been co-opted.
Eh, republican, russian, no difference.
Love that they make you login to edit.
Damnit dude, I had forgotten that site existed.

No you wouldn’t.
They don’t even believe that Russia is the enemy.
They have no shame, and to them anymore, Russia is only the enemy of ‘liberals’. It’s their role model for a future American oligarchy.
I know it’s crazy. When your ideology overtakes your common sense, it can be scary. Look at the Civil War and that era.
You know what they say: An enemy is just an ally who has komoromat on you.
Im pretty sure the word you meant to use was laundromat.
/backs into the bushes with the kompromat
Republicans have long since demonstrated that they consider the capacity to experience shame to be a weakness.
They’re incapable of shame. It’s how they make perfect Russian assets.
