Remember kids, it's never about hypocrisy, it's about power and virtue signalling.
One of the most interesting (and terrifying) outcomes of Donald Trump is the end of the bipartisan consensus. Both political parties have always been in near lockstep on foreign policy and now support for or against Russia is major party line.
Which is uh... a thing because support against Russia also means support against the general military and economic cohesion of western liberal democracies.
I'm not stumping for either side mind you, NATO and Russia can both go fuck themselves, but seeing the world shift like this is... unsettling.

@CountScrofula Support for Russia is only a thing for the most brain addled of the Trumpturds. Thankfully , still , a majority of the Republican caucus see Russia as a clear and present danger.

@RodionRomanovitch Much as I despise the Republicans, I don't think they support Putin. I think their foreign policy change is due to reasons above.
