Well, OLB, given his previous comments in thread, it seems like whatever number of republicans he knows really soured over the last 20 years. We may never know what happened to do that to them.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Asked if he was scared of being arrested, he said he was not scared, which prolly sounded like "ain't skeert" but added he expected to hear from the authorities. He said he walked up the Capitol steps to see what was going and got pushed inside by the crowd. Once inside, he was "just looking for a bathroom."  (January 8, 2021 at 4:22 pm)Rev.

However, the more I look at it, the more I realize that America’s political system skews so far to the right (as opposed to, for instance, Western Europe) that what many see as far-left isn’t really all that far to the left. If Bernie and AOC were based out of, say, the UK, they’d probably not be too out of place in the Labour Party (especially since the neoliberal New Labour is dead and buried.) I think we’d have to wait until the more jackasstic Tumblr “SJW”-types or even Tankies to become mainstream before those fears become justifiable beyond “um, guys, I think you might be going a bit overboard.” This is the kind of stupid thing that I have tried and failed to explain to cons. You look at the way the UK, Germany, France...etc, most of Western Europe is run, far to the left of the US but not even close to true Socialism or Communism. I have at least heard some cons say "we don't want to be like Europe", at least that's closer to honest. But then you look at Norway; hell I'd move there in a heartbeat if it was possible.
Why is it so?

Rude things to a reindeer?

Yeah, conservatism isn’t really all that well-equipped to deal with fascism. In practice, fascist beliefs tend to be roided-up versions of what they already believe, and they tend to not notice anything’s wrong until it’s too late. Raskolnikov, meet Svidrigailov.
