The Presidential Debate of June 27th

[Ivan Denisovich]

Then you're not paying any fucking attention at all.

I think @Leonardo17 is actually right, insofar as the Republicans have any ideology at all. The Republicans who really believe their ideology -- Kinzinger, Cheney, Romney, and so on -- have already walked out. Not that that's a good thing, they should have stayed and fought for the soul of the party, but the ragged remainders don't give a shit about ideology at all, they just want to hitch their trailer to the Trump oxen and hope to make out.

The remainders have no ideology. They're sucking the cultish dick, the JD Vances of the world. The ideologues are bailing out. That's good for 2024. We'll see how deep that "conviction" is.

I would say that from outsider view it looks that their ideology is fascism but that's not quite true. Looking on some news snippets I would say that there certainly are fascists among them but rest may be simply illiberal (in European sense as this is primarily used to describe orban and kaczynski regimes). There is no hard definition of this beyond rejecting liberal principles (though still using liberal language at least in part) and wanting to transform democratic state into parody of itself.
