I give you the Republican Party of Texas, which I think pretty representative of the Republican Party. https://www.texastribune.org/2026/06/15/texas-republican-party-convention-muslims-sharia-law/

A Muslim Texan sought to find his place in the party at the state GOP convention. He left in tears.

Muslim delegates and attendees hoping to participate in the state Republican convention were shunned and rejected by members as they espoused themes of party unity ahead of the November election.

Reflexively, I feel bad for the people who were so brutally rejected.

But what would they have expected?

It's so tragic when minorities aren't allowed to join their favorite fascism club 😔

Of course, this also demonstrates why the more dogmatic clubs ultimately fail. Ideological purity trumps practical concerns such as strengthening or even maintaining their numbers, and they slowly implode under their increasing concentration of extremism as the moderate fascists abandon ship.
