In my youth our neighbors were mostly right wing John Birch Society followers. They were strongly opposed to Russia, communism and all things related to that. However, their local organizations were modeled on Stalin's concept of using "cells" of individuals to promote ideology. They did that because, in their words, "it worked".

Fast forward to today - those Birchers are now Fox / Putin / Erdogan acolytes working to destroy the American Way that they previously supported.

There is an old adage... Choose your enemies carefully because you may eventually become what they are.
