Tbh I think for a decent chunk of the Republican base this is less the changing of their actual opinion and more just finally getting permission to to take the mask off. you had Tucker Carlson type people openly supporting Russia for years , the “concern” over Ukraine being invaded for them was just a cudgel they could hammer in on democrats as weakness when they were in power, once Trump got in they don’t have to pretend to care anymore as it had no political use to them anymore.
Stop trying to bring up the ghost of Reagan or some shit as an appeal to them, Republicans are not duped they just straight up like Russia because they see them as “based and redpilled” and what they need to fight against those “godless Marxist homosexuals” Europeans that they see as poisoning America.
