Trump is supported by the people running Silicon Valley (Musk, Thiel, Andreessen - with Tim Cook and Jeff Bezos financing his inaugural), hedge fun titans like Robert Mercer, heartland industrialist like the Uihleins. Plus white, Christian, married families who don't live in large coastal cities support him in the majority. So I take this in the dialectic sense - that it is not destructive but self-destructive. Also the opposition's obsession with Russia points to their loss. The average American doesn't give a damn what Putin thinks. Trump is focused on the US (or maybe Canada or Greenland) while the opposition is focused on Russia. Liberal Denocrats disliked Russia when Khrushchev was in charge too, they just have some anti-Russian animus that you can read about in the New York Times back to 1925 and before.

In 2012 the Republican candidate for president said that Russia was our biggest geopolitical adversary in the debates and the left laughed at him. Obama said something flippant about the 80s Mitch McConnell, arguably the most powerful Republican senator in a generation, has also recently issued a rare criticism of Trump and his alliance with Putin, deeply damaging his own standing in his party. We can also add many other conservative leaders who are no longer in power to that list, because there is no space for dissent in a fascist party. But please continue to try and strawman the left as having no good reason aside from loss to raise the alarm on an obvious Russian asset controlling the worlds largest superpower
