Karaganov’s statement says a lot about why white evangelicals in the U.S. are willing to toss democracy overboard in favor of a one-party state dominated by one powerful leader. They deny the premise of a system in which all people are equal before the law and have the right to have a say in their government.

the one-party government they envision will benefit a very small group of wealthy people: witness the Russian oligarchs whose yachts worth hundreds of millions of dollars are being impounded all over the world. And, just like those governments, it will be overseen by a strongman, who will continue to insist that his opponents are immoral.

I would not be surprised if this also explains a lot of the Biden-bashing coming from that group:

The rise of evangelicals and decline / distrust of Catholics among evangelicals is something affecting the US, too: However, some are trying to change the country from a democracy to a theocracy.
