It isn't that wild. They've embraced the view of Russia as a country of Based Anti-Woke Trads and the Ukrainians as Antifa Gay Untermench.
It's the exactly same set of propaganda but one side thinks "Opposite of liberalism, so good actually".
Yeah but it’s not like the Dems are saying “Support Ukraine against the conservative anti-woke trads of Russia” they’re saying “Support Ukraine again Russia’s communist imperialism” which sounds like a winning message for the republicans too. The Ukrainians are openly flying Nazi flags and the republicans are like “Nah we’ll take diet fascism this time”
"The Russians are going to kill all of Ukraine's LGBT population and steal their children and rape their women" is a significant through-line of the liberal argument for arming Zelensky's government.
The national media has turned a total blind eye to the Ukrainian Fascism. The whole face of the debacle is this tiny bearded comedian in combat fatigues and the assorted women and children spilling out of the country as refugees. When Ukrainians in uniform do appear on camera, they love to sport rainbow flags and pride symbols, nevermind whether they're actual soldiers or just PR spokesmodels in camo face paint.
