    From an outside perspective there are probably a few things we support here that the American right might as well.

    For example, lots of people here support Russia to some extent because they endorse anti-imperialist action against NATO expansionism.

    Lots of people on the American right support Russia out of solidarity for their fellow fascists.

    Your outsider looking in just sees support for Russia and disdain for the Ukrainian regime and makes the association.

      Don’t forget it’s textbook fascism to copy leftists points (cf. the Nazis being called “National socialists”) and I can only imagine this will increase
