Why do some conservatives admire Putin?

10% of Republicans and 12% of Democrats had favorable views of Putin? I guess that shows, er, something. But you see, this isn't about "favorable views", it's about people who think that Putin is great.

Take a look at another article, "Why U.S. conservatives love Russia’s Vladimir Putin":

You're comparing an opinion piece, and the opinions of anonymous folks on the internet who you "think" are conservatives, with a scientific poll.

No, I'm not. I've explained that "favorable views" in an opinion poll are not the same thing as adulation. But if you don't want to know, I guess there's no point in pressing it.

Trump does not admire Putin, that's bs. The only "conservatives" who admire Putin, aren't conservatives at all. At least not in the traditional American sense of the word. Libs tend to lump white nationalists and Nazis in with conservatives, they're wrong.
