If you look at what is happening with Trump and some of the Christian Conservative Republicans that support him since I grew up white and a child of conservative Republican parents and because of this knew all kinds of White Conservative Republicans (especially from church), I might be able to address this (even though as a college age person I was often liberal or Democratic and am now an independent and I don't consider myself to be either Republican or Democrat.
This is the logic: White Conservative Republican Christians are very very afraid of a couple of things:
Here are the things they are deathly afraid of presently:
They are deathly afraid of Muslims because of ISIS and Al Qaeda
They are deathly afraid of any person of color which means Mexican people, South American People and Central american people. However, People south of the border also sometimes share political ideas with white Conservative Repbublicans so sometimes they will tolerate them.
They are deathly afraid of Black people.
They are also afraid of Asian people too.
So, think about this for a moment:
Why would they align when they are scared and desperate like now with Putin and Russia?
Because Putin is white, Putin is Christian (Orthodox Russian Christian) and this is enough now that Communism is gone to align them with Putin and Russia.
That's all you need to know.
It's about the terrors and fears of white Conservative christian Republicans who don't know ANY black people usually at all (and usually never did either). (or any Muslims or Mexican people possibly either unless the Mexican or Hispanic people were their gardener or live in Housekeeper.
So, as crazy as this sounds to most people it is about White Conservative Republican Christian fears about what goes bump in the night that is aligning them with supposedly White Christian Russians like Putin. They are white and whether they are Christian or not is presently debatable. But, at least Putin and the oligarchs all pretend to be Christian.
And for most White Christian Conservative republicans this is enough because mostly they pretend to be Christians often too. So, Being Christian therefore is mostly about being a white Christian culturally and less about truly being a Christian in a deep way. So,in this sense both the Russian leadership and often Republican Conservative leadership share more culturally than anything else.
But, this is the alignment you see now that the Soviet Union is now gone almost 30 years now as of 2019 and 2020.
To me it is very strange but I still understand it because of how I grew up.
So, where is democracy in all this?
Democracy is not a part of this at all.
People this white and this scared won't let democracy get in the way of White power.
This is why this is so serious from my present point of view.
So, people this scared are not wanting equal rights for everyone, just for white people and that's all.
