Some hard truth here.
@georgetakei The harder truth is that the Republican Party is little changed over the last 15 years and in fact only slightly changed since the ‘90’s. The hardest truth is that most folks refused to see it.

@DavidG_RSD @georgetakei Yes and no.

Orange ape refocused the brand core to fascist values. In that sense, something has changed.

OTOH, these values have been there in the GOP 30 years ago, just less in their mainstream. In that sense, nothing has changed.

"Conservatism" always had a fascinating overlap in their programs with fascism. Both dislike democracy as one of the biggies.
