Does anyone know of present or former Trump supporters on this site or elsewhere who have had the intellectual decency to acknowledge Trump's damaging coddling of and support for Putin? Perhaps among some of the people I've blocked?
I grew up with Republicans being hawks against (Communist) Russia. It was a different time, but the choice by so many Trump-supporting "conservative" Republicans to look the other way, when it comes to understanding how Trump favored Putin, has been bizarre.

Donald Trump And Vladimir Putin's Relationship Explained

I suppose, as in so many things, they are saying "The end (of defeating the supposedly un-American leftists) justifies any means" and "everyone knows Putin helped Trump, so I guess Putin is the price we had to pay".

Yes, I ask it.
There are dozens or hundreds of millions of "Republicans". Surely for a few of them, especially some of the older ones, their antipathy to Russia, and some vestige of honesty, can win out over their cultivated antipathy toward the Democrats' socialism and their blind loyalty to the latest flavor of would-be-Constitution-wrecker would-be-dictator.
If the Lincoln Project has not already gone after this particular issue, they should. I'm going to see if suggesting it to them directly might get anything done.
Putin has established a major beachhead of influence in the US. All of the crazy team that met in Dec 2020 to develop the capitol assault have Russia connections. Mueller documented 100 contacts with Trump's 2016 election team. Moscow Mitch. Maria Buttina. And NUMBER 1: The Koch Brothers. Yeah, who on the Republican team has the balls to call out the traitors in their midst? A google search reveals nothing and nobody. Try it.
Biden’s son got millions from the mayor of Moscow.
Who’s coddling???

Feeling a little emasculated are we?

But who’s coddling???
None that I know of, but then again, there are probably blocks between all of them and me, on my part or theirs. And anyway, I have never found any Trumpers or conservatives online that had any intellectual honesty or believed in ever admitting they were wrong about anything or that their leader is ever wrong. They simply don't deal in the truth, no matter how glaringly it might be staring them in the face... And we also know they are immune to feeling shame or hypocrisy...

They are linked by god and effectively using the deity for support of zealots. The Theocrats don't care about Communism vs Capitalism or anything else. They care only about their interpretation of god and bringing on the end time. Suicide by Armeggedon.
