Wrong. The issue most certainly is why you guys are in love with a madman that Reagan would've despised. You openly excuse or deny him being a murderous and oppressive dictator. You all (the right) have stooped to a low I never thought possible with Trump and Putin. It continues to floor me how there is so much open complacency and admiration for authoritarianism in the party I used to support.
I've linked to this story before, but I think Peter Beinart explains it pretty well in the column I link to below. The split within the right is between "ideological conservatives" and "civilizational conservatives". The former are anti-Putin and the latter are pro-Putin:
