      […] says a great deal about the moral and ethical foundations of […] republicanism

      That’s just it. There are no moral or ethical foundations to it, just devotion to whatever the party or its talking heads hand down

      That’s what makes the GOP so fragile and so monstrous- it’s all followers, none with ideas of their own and most willing to resort to (or accept) political violence over fealty to tribe or sect

        The gravy seals are not going to do shit. The army of boomers are not going to do shit. The only thing that will happen is small groups and individuals will engage in straight up terrorism under the guise of civil war. Alt-right terrorism is virtually ensured.
