Vladimir Putin is an anti-democratic, genocidal killer who is not only causing death and destruction in Ukraine, he’s destroying the future of Russia and Russians. Tell me again why extremist Republicans think this is a man to admire.

I wish I could tell you. My best guess is that the information age, cable tv and social media are to blame, plus human weakness.

I see years of Fox media has misshapen GOP thought. So much so that conservatives didn't recognize more targeted Russian manipulation via social media that turned hyper-political into fascism.

At the beginning of it all I'm sure GOP politicians saw the Fox manipulation, but didn't call it out because it benefitted them.

Just my amateur thought.
