I noticed the striking similarities between the US Republican Party and the Russian Communist Party long ago. The lip service about "smaller government" while in reality loving victimless crime laws and big brother government. The love of dishonesty and disinformation. Encouraging followers to suspend all critical thinking skills and embrace shallow dogmas and cult of personality. Trying to rule through bullying and intimidation. Love of authoritarianism. The ultimate emphasis on raw power over ideology.

This stuff is especially ironic given the false claims of right wing kooks that anything they don't like is "communist". Republicans are the actual "communist" threat because they use the same tactics and have the same contempt for democracy as the Bolsheviks.
