But the tankies now call themselves as "right wing christian, conservative, nationalists", see orban, trump, putin, etc...
There are still plenty of members of the Leninist tankie cult left - look at the positions of most Communist Parties in Europe. To make things worse, I think most of them don't even realize that the Soviet Union is gone and that China became a cyberpunkish corporatocracy that puts the worst western country to shame.
I'm a fan of the term Kleptocracy. It seems to describe well a lot of newish regimes in south east Asia and south America, and it applies well to China and the United States of America as well.
hexbear had an entire thread with hundreds of comments where they all agreed they hated trump and viewed him as an odious fascist

The closest thing you find to support for trump in there is some of them thinking he is a less effective imperialist.
Funny they only mention biden. Everyday. Multiple dozens of times.
He does suck for a lot of reasons, but if you're not an accelerationist you don't have much choice.
It just so happens that he's the less bad choice that we happen to have. We could be a lot better, we could be a lot worse.
Better doesn't necessarily mean good, just... Better.
Better than?
