Can someone ELI5 of what tankies are? It's just something I haven't run into in the USA (that I know of), and I'm baffled where and how they would fit into my understanding of the left and right on the USA political structure

In the US, tankies are usually the people who worship Soviet Russia and the USSR. In current politics, they often support Russia in the Ukraine conflict.

So here is what I find baffling - the people supporting Russia are the right wingers here, yet as far as I know they are not tankies... Nothing makes sense

Tankies defy logic and often their reactionary takes will land them on the same side of an issue with right-wingers. Usually using very different rhetoric, but in this one case... the right and the tankies sound pretty much the same.
