      They’re our Reform UK, our Rassemblent National, our Fratelli d’Italia, our Fidesz – arguably our AfD at this point.

      Answer: no.

        The AfD might be to the left of the American Republican party these days (and not because the AfD has gotten more progressive).

      I wouldn’t say either party are the “good guys”, but the Republicans are the worse of the two, and it isn’t even close.

        If anything, the closest we have to “good guys” in US politics would be the Bernie Sanders - AOC wing of the Democrats.

        Even the most “progressive” Republicans are still backwards thinking bootlickers - “small government” and “states’ rights” to enforce their narrow world view.

    Gop are flooding the system to overwhelm infrastructure and news cycle and scotus is throwing a few less meaningful breadcrumbs out between outright atrocities to try to build plausible deniability.
