I recommend anyone who spends a lot of time thinking about this type of thing to take a break for a few months in a country that doesn't indulge it, e.g. Russia.
The only places where they would be getting treated normally would be ironically places with more woke Russians - ie Russian liberals, educated, woke people. Who would not shun others for being foreigners and who would not exhibit automatic/traditional Russian behaviors of suspecting/shunning strangers and being closed to them.
I agree. In fact I think that their religion would only serve to exacerbate things since (unless I'm very wrong) Russians are largely Orthodox Catholics and these people are largely protestant and evangelical
Some of them even lived and worked abroad, but of course learned nothing from that experience.
Conservative foreigners would feel right at home with this crowd, but they might be surprised how liberal they are comparing to the locals.
The American conservatives would feel 'at home' with such people as you described, however such people would not be accepting them how they seem to think they would.
What about old liberal ideals?
