Uh no. Since meddling in our election in 16 to help get their guy in (which should be considered an act of war) Russia was anything but an afterthought on one side at least. There should have been consequences then but of course R's had to pretend it just didn't happen and of course Trump did nothing but fawn over his hero.So you are under the assumption that 74 million people are pro Russian? I can give a lot of other reasons why they probably voted for trump over Biden and none of them have anything to do with Russia. Russia was a complete afterthought to both parties. With that being said I will agree there is more Putin sympathy from the far right. But I do believe a lot of the people that voted for trump hate what is going on in Ukraine and are anti putin. Hell, I would say a lot of peoples minds have changed about NATO including myself.
Those who paid attention know Biden ran on being tough on Putin and doing the opposite of Trump which was basically to get on his knees and suck the guy's dick. He addressed Vlad directly in one debate and said things would be different and they are thank God.... It's why Putin was so bummed his pawn was thrown out of office. Afterthought my ass.... Only to right wing enablers I guess
