It's pretty hilarious, really.
Pro-Trumpy conservatives: of course Putin wouldn't have tried this under Trump; he wouldn't have dared.
Trump: Hey, brilliant move on behalf of Putin. Really smart, a lot to be admired there.
(Of course Trump then claims Putin wouldn't have done it if he was President - that is just his basic incoherence and lack of self awareness kicking in.)
As noted on Twitter:
True.
I note in the Australian Christofascist Right, the shell of a former conservative who years ago could write well and cohesively confirms his descent into wingnut madness. Currency Lad and his admirers cannot be debated or reasoned with, because facts stopped mattering to them years ago* - and when democracy gives effect to cultural changes they don't like, the problem they perceive is with democracy itself. Hence he's decided the whole of Western Europe is "not my friend". I get the distinct impression he thinks Putin rolling in on tanks over the entire continent would be only mildly regrettable, and overall a good thing for their culture war objectives: after all, like them, he doesn't like the gays, is not keen on abortion, promotes conservative Christianity, doesn't think vaccination in any sector should be compulsory; and and is highly motivated to burn every last bit of fossil fuel.
The only amusing thing about this is that their extremism means they are left without any political party to follow - everyone has failed them - and they can't see that the problem is that they're the ones who have created the problem by moving into a their own fantasy world.
* the list of false or risible factual claims in that post is just so long - and it doesn't matter to any of his admirers.
