Why the 180 here?
Do you realize that once in awhile even, for example, a Democrat gets something right? You may get a thread of people supporting something that Democrat specifically said, but that doesn't mean folks are suddenly allied with him/her. The Democrat is still the ideologically foe even if they get 1 thing right. What's the old saying, "even a broken clock is right twice a day".
The same thing goes for some of the more strident Islamist countries. They tend to vocally oppose the homo agenda more than anyone else, and you'll get a thread or two of people that may support that particular position - that does NOT mean conservatives are suddenly allying themselves with radical Islamists.
You might want to look over the comments again, they were much deeper and more supportive than just agreeing with a certain policy.
My point is that Putin had (has) a good number of admirers here, and trying to isolate me as the only one (or one of a very small number of people) is not accurate.
