What is so bad about the Republican Party is it resembles the communist party of Joseph Stalin. Republicans have let go of their individual consciousness and allowed Trump, like the Russians did with Stalin, to become a tyrant.

How does a party prevent this kind of dictatorship. Rules and constitutions unfortunately are what people make of them. The question is just how much of our individual responsibility are we prepared to delegate to a person or central body? I believe every political party, Democrat or Republican, should be made of up individuals who jealously guard their independent judgement before they devolve into a body of yes-people and abrogate, as many members of the Republican Party have, their personal moral responsibility.

It seems that members of the Republican Party in order to hold onto political power are also encouraging mass social psychosis, such as believing all Democrats are pedophiles and that Trump won the last election. The danger of all this is that when you take into account blatant Republican gerrymandering and a political system which elevates the wishes of the minority in the Senate (Republicans), you flirt with America becoming a gentler version of Stalinist Russia in the early fifties.
