The Republican Party is one of the two main political parties available to US voters.

Criticism

Gary Allen wrote in Richard Nixon: The Man Behind The Mask (1971) that "The fact is that the Republican party is now little more than a name. America's two-party system has quietly been replaced by the virtual dictatorship of an "invisible government." {{#subobject: |Has superobject=US/Republican Party |Has objectClass=Quotation |Has author=Mike Lofgren|+sep=, |Has text=“It should have been evident to clear-eyed observers that the Republican Party is becoming less and less like a traditional political party in a representative democracy and becoming more like an apocalyptic cult, or one of the intensely ideological authoritarian parties of 20^th century Europe.” |Is about=US/Republican Party,Republican Party, cult|+sep=, |Has wikipediaPage= |Has location=|+sep=, |Has publicationDate=3 September 2011 |Sourced from=TruthOut |Has sourceDetails= |Has sourceTitle=Goodbye to All That: Reflections of a GOP Operative Who Left the Cult |Has sourceName=TruthOut |Has sourceURL=https://truthout.org/articles/goodbye-to-all-that-reflections-of-a-gop-operative-who-left-the-cult/

“It should have been evident to clear-eyed observers that the Republican Party is becoming less and less like a traditional political party in a representative democracy and becoming more like an apocalyptic cult, or one of the intensely ideological authoritarian parties of 20^th century Europe.”

The GOP often has prominent members vowing to "destroy" the pedohiles, mostly in a polarising perspective regarding the Democratic Party. What they don't address is their failure to keep them out out of their own ranks. A Reddit community has tracked over 46 republicans over a 2 year period convicted for rape of children, including kids as young as 5 year old, filming minors showering to leading sex trafficking rings. Other lists over a longer timespan go up to about 1,500.
