The same way most Americans don't approve of or want to be associated with Trump. Democracies allow more freedom of choice, but large minorities or even small majorities in democracies can be ruled by people they see as detrimental to the country or opposed to their own personal views. I'm sure this is compounded by voter intimidation, limits on free speech, etc. We have a long way to go in the US and Russia until every person is directly represented by either themselves or someone they ideologically agree with. Winner take all democracies are certainly better than aristocracies or dictatorships, but still result in the misrepresentation of huge portions of the population.
