Tankies are the kind of people who would definitely sell their soul for Trump if they had read another single blog post few years ago.

Many of them may still do that anyway.

Conservatives don't agree with things. Conservatives agree with people.

And tankies are conservatives. It's not a political ideology. They're tribalists whose chosen ingroup is anyone doing leftist signalling. Same pattern of behavior as screeching for liberty and freedom while installing a king.

Tankies have been anti-NATO since 1949. It has nothing to do with the Red v. Blue spectacle.

And they oppose NATO because they supported Soviet imperialism.

So if and when the US is no longer a member of NATO, the Tankies will openly support Trump?

A lot of them already openly support Trump and promoted him actively on Hexbear and Lemmygrad before the election.

No. Why would we?
