Considering that conservatives have a larger fear center and like someone telling them how to think and act, someone like Putin is extremely appealing to them. They would willingly sacrifice civil rights and freedom of expression to feel "safe"
Most importantly to the far right- Putin wants to eradicate the gay population.

No doubt, they'd love to see similar legislation enacted here in the US.

Please let us know which "far right" officials in the US have suggested such a thing.

Far right wingers are having a tougher time getting elected, so it would be hard to find a lunatic like that on the federal level, but you can find many posters on the internet who support such garbage.

In President Obama’s campaign-style speech on the economy, he mentioned some non-economic priorities:
Can you tell me what "rebalancing a fight" is? Funny, climate change and women's rights are in the same sentence.
Notice to Obama it's just a fight and not actual war on the US.

“Of course, weâ€ll keep pressing on other key priorities, like reducing gun violence, rebalancing our fight against al Qaeda, combating climate change, and standing up for civil rights and womenâ€s rights.â€


Obama says he will be “rebalancing our fight against Al Qaeda” : Jihad Watch

Maybe you could post some? I've never seen that, other than maybe in a cartoon.

So you confirm they are lying/making things up.
Thanks.

Because the people praising him don't value qualities in an angel/saint

you guys value ruthlessness or badassness as you put it

hence you see images like these

Any elected officials? I'm not sure if there have been any, but there have been plenty of conservative voice boxes who have expressed feelings that the US should have laws modeled after the ones passed in Russia.
