      Honestly it would probably take around five minutes for FOX news to 180° flip the minds of most American conservatives these days with how little commitment they have to ideological consistency. I could absolutely see Republicans hating Russia tomorrow for some stupid reason like Putin saying something bad about Trump or Russia accidentally helping their gays be slightly less miserable.

    I grew up in a world where Republicans hated Russia, and Russian women were portrayed as fat, boy howdy has that script been flipped.

    I use the russia sympathy thing to work back any hardcore…

    So think back 10 years and put yourself in that mindset, you probably had a high level of distrust for russia.

    And now you don’t, what has changed?
