it's the GQP. It is not rocket science. The GQP identifies with autocracies because that is how to attain minority rule.

Life sucks for everybody under a dictator; even those who pushed the dictator to power, even his inner circle. All will suffer. Many of his closest allies will end up impoverished, imprisoned, or defenestrated.

Reagan calmly explained that the Soviet leadership had "openly and publicly declared that the only morality they recognize is what will further their cause, meaning they reserve unto themselves the right to commit any crime, to lie, to cheat."
Reagan continued, explaining that the Soviets considered their relativistic behavior "moral, not immoral." This was something that the United States needed to "keep . . . in mind" when doing "business" with Moscow.
