I live in a red one and did not met someone who supports putin, yet.

I think you're correct that the typical GOP voter does not support Putin[1]. There are very visible GOP figures that support Putin and/or the annexation of Ukraine though:

- Tucker Carlson[2]

- Rand Paul[3]

- JD Vance[4]

Unfortunately actual voters often get drowned out by all the screaming in the media.

They shouldn’t as they spent like 70 years not supporting him but the orange guy likes him and that skews things, and it makes Biden look bad, so…
