I think a more accurate description would be an autocratic state enjoying an oil windfall.

Certainly Putin has turned many things in Russia around, and as far as his dealings with Russia’s “near-abroad” are concerned, our attitude should be one of neutrality. But I think it is imprudent at this point to describe him as appealing.

Obviously there is some overlap, but some people frustrated with the rot of modernity become, in essence, right wing ideologues and so alienated that they lose touch with reality. So there is some overlap, no doubt, and I don’t know the breakdown, but I do think the crowd that looks at everything from the war of the 1812 to the present as a tale of woe and caprice is missing something about that history, the American character, and normal psychological balance about the time one is living in.

If so, I again appalud your coalition-building outreach.
