There's no way those guys vote Democrat, so it's fair to say they're "in" the Republican party, but they're not a paramilitary "of" the Republican party, because none of the organisation and centralisation which makes the Republican party a force crosses over. They're totally separate, and very unofficial - if a pastor or a local politician supports a militia group, they're going to be doing that quietly on their own time. As a result, they all have a kind of "startup" thing going, and don't really have logistics the way a viable insurgency would.
Sorry, I should have expanded a bit more there. Brevity vs. clarity is always a tough balance.
