"Republicans" here in the US don't, in any way, stand for the values of the republic -- or any republic.
"Republicans" here have taken increasingly despotic positions and pushed authoritarian policies that are distinctly and unequivocally fascist.
It's a long-strategy power grab, embedded deeply from the grass-roots level up. The aim is to end the US as a republic and demolish all democratic institutions.
It needs to be called out consistently, b/c plenty of moderates (who are really center-right) want to pretend that none of this is really happening.
