True dat, no dispute.
But there are also "republicans" who follow fascist/leftist/anti-liberty agendas as long as politicians stick an "R" after their name.
Take Trump-humpers, for instance:
His followers will abandon the 4th Amendment (document/register people so that they become eligible), 2nd Amendment (raise age to 21 and ban bump stocks), fully support stealing other peoples property via government Eminent Domain to build a government structure and hire more government employees, and abandon Free Market principles to SUPPORT Minimum Wage jobs because they believe everybody should pay their "fair share" of taxes to the Fed and want to report companies which choose to engage in Private Contract Rights.
I know a lot of life-long registered republicans who NEVER supported any of those positions under Obama and used to scream bloody murder when he was in office, but now that Trump is president they will follow him to hell and back.
