The mass of Trump supporters demonstrate the kind of sycophantic devotion, but the Republican party has become a vechile for undermining democracy ( ot just recently) and a threat to the status quo in the US.
Nice article about Repuicans here: https://theintercept.com/2020/11/13/tru ... ans-biden/
I particularly like this line:
They[republicans] keep finding new ways to tell us that they don’t actually believe in representative democracy, and we should believe them.
Because, like with Putin's Russia, we should listen to what they say, but we should believe what they do.
