Just about everyone in America has natural mistrust of Putin for reasons that have little to do with Putin.
The atheists hate him because he is an avuncular Christian.
The Protestants hate him because he favors the Orthodox church over know-nothing American missionaries who think that all Orthodox are Soviets, even though the Soviets kills 85,000 out of 86,000 Orthodox priests. (Russia doesn’t exempt attacks on religion from laws against slander, like the US and Europe do in practice.)
The Catholics want their Catholic churches back that the Soviets took from them to give to lackeys.
The neo-cons hate him because hating Russians is all they know how to do.
The liberals hate him because he doesn’t support anal sex as a holy lifestyle and doesn’t buy into the leftwing European Union.
He gets hated because he’s blamed for the existence of the oligarchs; then when breaks up the oligarchies, he’s accused of anti-democratically routing out potential rivals.
Putin the divorcee who justified his divorce as valid because it wasn't conducted in a church? Putin the divorcee who has people beaten and murdered in Russia for opposing his regime? People who claim that Putin is some kind of a Christian are uncritical clowns with their heads up their butts.
The Protestants hate him because he favors the Orthodox church over know-nothing American missionaries who think that all Orthodox are Soviets,
Want to know who else thinks the Russian Orthodox is run by Soviets? KGB documents and former Soviets noting that the patriarch of the ROC was a "former" KGB agent, and that all the people aiming for the position back in 2009 were also known KGB agents.
We also dislike them since the Kremlin uses the ROC, as it has for a very long time, as another arm of the government. They also prefer the ROC over all other denominations, using intimidation and other nefarious tactics to drive out non-ROC churches.
Are you Russian Orthodox by any chance?
The Catholics want their Catholic churches back that the Soviets took from them to give to lackeys.
As a matter of fact that's still going on!
The liberals hate him because he doesn’t support anal sex as a holy lifestyle and doesn’t buy into the leftwing European Union.
Yes, righteous Russia! Stacked full with theosophists and admirers of folkish religions in top places in academia, the military, and politics! Righteous Russia, where women are routinely kidnapped and sold into sex slavery, and where the porn industry operates out in the open! Righteous Russia, who dislike trannies winning music awards but were represented in the first place at that same competition by a psuedolesbian underage duet!
He gets hated because he’s blamed for the existence of the oligarchs
Most of them are his friends, and Putin has made millions from them!
