Does anyone besides me worry the GOP is joining forces with Putin and trying to convince RWNJs that being ruled by Putin would be awesome? That maybe there will be a takeover orchestrated by the GOP, Putin and RWNJs ruling in tandem?

Putin is the type of leader these people want. They see him as a leader who puts Russia and the Russian people first. They admire that type of nationalism.
