Republicans' anti-communist rhetoric clashes with Trump loyalty

Original: Republicans say they hate communists. So why do they like Donald Trump?

A Guardian opinion piece examines a contradiction in Republican politics: the party defines itself by hostility to communism, yet overwhelmingly supports Donald Trump, whose critics accuse him of authoritarian and centralising instincts. The column argues conservatives have redefined their ideological enemy, treating loyalty to Trump as the real test rather than fidelity to anti-communist principles, a framing already drawing debate on the American right.

Why now: Ongoing debate over Trump's dominance of the Republican Party and what his supporters' ideological consistency really means.
