MODERATORS
Yep — it’s Christian fascism. They want to use the power of the state to control people and hurt who they don’t like.
That definitely true for a significant percentage of republicans (especially their politicians and media personalities) but like any large group, republicans are internally diverse, and it's unhelpful, and potentially dangerous, to think of them as a cultural monolith with identical values.
Is there a large group of republicans opposing the current fascist explosion in their party?
unfortunately no, just a large group who's convinced that the fascism is just democrat smear campaign
