And who says the Russians don’t love capitalism?
Since 1991 they have set out to embrace all the worst aspects of it. And it is no wonder that the GOP admires Putin, he runs a the very kind of state they want to see here: authoritarian, plutocratic, miltaristic, patriarchal, xenophobic, homophobic and theocratic.
Only difference is that they prefer Fundamentalist Protestantism over Russian Orthodoxy.
