Read the Conservapedia pages on Russia, Putin, and NATO sometime. The far-right is firmly pro-Putin now, and see his Russian autocracy as a model for the US to follow under Trump.

    My God there are straight up lies on that page. Like the economic claims in the very first paragraph. They just don't care anymore do they?

    Edit, I'm saving this for later. When I have more alcohol to properly laugh at lines like, "Russia has the most professional army in the world."

    Never did, TBH. Conservapedia has been a meme since the 2000s, when it was infamous for being "Wikipedia for young-earth creationists." It's all propaganda BS, but useful as a window into what the extremist fringe is thinking.

    No, unfortunately not. Been around for a while. Republicans didn't like how they couldn't control Wikipedia, so they decided to make their own.
