We switched spots. It wasn’t long ago that conservatives didn’t like Russia much.
The left is trying to reposition itself as the patriotic party.
Russia is resisting the homofascist agenda.
Remember the left’s outrage at the olympics
Russia is the only legally Christian Nation on earth. The pioneers get the arrows.
They don’t hate Russia, they are simply using it as a tool. Does the carpenter hate the hammer he beats up regularly?
Simple. Russia has become the anti-soviet union.
Putin and Russia are partially convenient enemies - but deep down, the Left is globalist, multi-culti, anti-Christian, elitist, centered on Western financial and technical elites
Russia opposes these things.
Because of the efforts of Pope John Paul II, President Reagan and Prime Minister Thatcher that ended up with the Communist Party was overthrown and thus ended the USSR. The USSR, to which most modern Dems, liberal elites and college professors, who are ideologically communists, were dedicated to support and convert the USA into the USSA.
I don’t think Putin has a particular moral loathing of homosexuality, nor any great devotion to Christianity. I think he operates from a much more pragmatic, realpolitik, Machiavellian perspective. As a former KGB operator who was schooled in the subversion and corruption of the west he is well aware of those things that will stabilize and destabiize a society and acts accordingly. If pushing the homosexual agenda was good for Russian society, Vlad would be leading from the front.
If the author really doesn’t know why the left is playing at hating Russia, then the author is beyond hope.
The Left loves a muscle flexing aggressive Russia. The Left hates a Russia that is held in check.
What PGR88 (and others above) said.
They don’t hate Russia. They just use the Russia meme to falsely smear our President.
Russia is Hillary’s and Podesta’s very profitable business partner.
“Why Does the Left Hate Russia so Much?”
Reminds them of the error of their ways ??
VIVA Walt Duranty ???
Because they gave up on the left's beloved communism.
Cuz Russia beleives in capitalism now, and allows if not encourages religion. Duh.
So supposedly making an alliance with Sunni Islam is patriotic? Just doesn’t work that way.
The banksters hate Russia because Russia does not worship at the altar of the empire of debt financing.
Russia has very little if any debt.
Russia is resisting the homofascist agenda.
While you could point to the fact that the Mullahs hate Gays too, we all know they get a total pass because they are non-White And Islamic.
The fact that Putin seems okay with Trump adds even more fuel to the fire.
