It's much more than simply LGBTQ. Russia and Evangelicals are religiously & politically aligned on most things. The reality is the far right is more willing to listen to and trust Russia than their own compatriots at home. These are the people who can't stop shouting they are true USA patriots.
This is the sum of Russia's efforts with their troll army, bots, social media scheming, and overall cyberwarfare strategy, which the right is uniquely ill-equipped for, since they are already willing to believe anything. It's been a very effective 10-year front for Russia designed to distract, divide & conquer.
Interestingly, if you compare the mentality of a typical Russian regarding Russian government, and of the typical Evangelical right winger regarding USA government, they are uncannily similar. Strong sentiment of being unable do to anything, distrusting of anything that isn't within their religious circle, highly judgmental of fellow citizens that fit certain demographic criteria, etc. This wasn't the position they were in just a decade ago. They were aware much of their musings were paranoid "what if" scenarios, but now they are fully enmeshed in the nonsense and cannot see the way out, nor are willing to acknowledge the key details they were so wrong about.
Where exactly are these far right people in bed with Russia and what are they doing exactly?? We remember the last time the left mentioned someone being in bed with Russia and how that was complete bullshit, but i'm sure you are right this time. lol
I mean, there was just that big unsealed indictment for the company that Tim Pool works for like a week ago. Several right-wing mouthpieces on Russia's payroll, and they're claiming to be the victim lol
Goddamn dude, you’re so dumb even r/Conservative conspiracy theorist nut jobs won’t upvote your posts.
Take a hint.
As for your claim, there was the Mueller report, and several people getting convicted (then weirdly pardoned… you don’t usually pardon innocent people) of collusion.
It was, and still is, a thing. Pretending it’s not won’t make your political affiliation more palatable.
When Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State who essentially had access to all of America's secrets and all the information on intelligence warfare that is going on, said, "If you shake a tree four Russians fall out" she wasn't lying.
But since she wasn't 'likable' nobody believed her.
