it’s just insane people have gone insane is this a Boomer brain bug? or maybe a legacy of more-rational anti USSR propaganda that left of center types spent so much effort resisting during the actual Cold War, that now it’s spilling back out of them like a bad LSD flashback?https://twitter.com/thedailybeast/status/1185207463127244801 …

It can't be that because they were all in favor of supporting the Soviet Union when it was around and hated Reagan because he opposed them. The Russians abandoned communism and the left will never forgive them for it.

well that’s kinda what I mean, their subconscious feels bad about their earlier USSR apologism, and so now when Russophobia is useful against Trumpism they seize the opportunity to (over)compensate by going to the other extreme

I think it's the opposite - they still miss the USSR so they hate Russia for invalidating their worldview - leftism is supposed to be "the force of history" and never be reversed. They don't feel bad about having supported the USSR.
