Once again, the current GOP is an ultra-right, illiberal party that many international scholars see as having more in common with Poland& #39;s Law and Justice, Turkey& #39;s AKP, or even Greece& #39;s Golden Dawn than they do the mainstream ruling parties of most Western liberal democracies. https://twitter.com/brianschatz/status/1316143405605421057">https://twitter.com/brianscha...
I understand how this sounds. But we& #39;ve been conditioned by years of both sidesism and the GOP& #39;s working of the refs to think it& #39;s unfair to call out the excesses of the American right, even as they& #39;ve spent the same time calling anything to their left "extreme" or "radical."
Normal, responsible, non-extreme parties do not run candidates like these (certainly not at the national level): https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2020/8/19/21375159/laura-loomer-congress-republican-florida-trump-explainer">https://www.vox.com/policy-an...

An even more damning and horrifying piece of evidence in “the GOP is not a normal party.”
I’ve referenced the QAnon believer running for the House from GA in this thread, but the openness to embracing Q within the party laid out in this piece is disgustingly irresponsible. https://twitter.com/alkapdc/status/1317198971123662850">https://twitter.com/alkapdc/s...
