I have seen republican politicians worship Hungary for obvious reasons while ignoring that Hungary also has Universal Health Care.

So does Israel, but they would never speak ill of Israel. Well, half of them wouldn't. The other half was marching down the streets of Charlottesville chanting "Jews will not replace us."

I occasionally see conservatives point to Venezuela as proof that socialism doesn't work while ignoring the fact that the poorest country in the western hemisphere is Haiti, a capitalist state.

They also ignore the fact that developed countries with socialized medicine spend far less per capita on healthcare than we do and have longer life expectancies than we do. Conservatives have a remarkable ability to ignore facts that don't align with their worldview.

Very few Americans know what socialism is period. They just know the Russians did it and Russia is bad, therefore socialism is bad.

Many modern conservatives think highly of Russia these days. They're particularly enamored with Russia's "masculine" army. You know, the army that's spent the past 14 months committing war crimes in Ukraine. They really like Russia's army.
