“As Donald Trump continues collecting both GOP support and criminal indictments, the modern Republican Party seems to be sliding further into fascism. An unwavering loyalty to Trump—combined with an equally zealous dedication to undemocratic policies—makes it clear that Republicans are less concerned with the rule of law than in grabbing and holding on to power.
