Republicans are not a monolithic bloc. Different Republicans have huge different disagreements with other Republicans, as we see playing out very clearly on the national stage today.
With that in mind, maybe it is the explanation that you heard, but it's not the explanation that I heard from Republicans back in the day.
Maybe we were listening to different groups of Republicans though.
I just hope you were actually listening to Republicans and not listening to opponents of Republicans stereotyping their opponents.
@volkris @katrinakatrinka How do you define "back in the day"? I remember back in the day when most Republicans didn't openly promote fascism.
