Well, the vast majority of the left, and even the Communist parties of Europe (minus the unreformed ones like those of the Czech Republic or Greece) don't support most of the policies of the CCP, and wouldn't enforce them in their country.
Now, you're going to tell me that all of these positions: "to ban abortions
to teach creationism and not only evolution
to lead prayers in school
allow christians to preach without call it "hate speech" if they preach verses that not fit into their ego"
are not systematically on the Republican platform?
So these positions aren't on the Republican platform? Republicans have never railed about these ills, or promised to bring about laws and changes to bring these positions into force?
No war on Christmas? No school manuals that teach creationism? No prayers in schools? No decrying of the oppression of Christians' "free speech"?
You're positively sure you want to make this claim?
War on Christmas was a terrorism reference discussing terrorists attacks in December.
Nobody in the Republican Party save for radicals does support creationism, but opposes evolution save for radicals.
Prayers allowed in school but not enforced
Etc
Where's the terrorism?
Your sentence doesn't actually make sense, how I've read it, but are you claiming that the Republican Party of Texas, the most populous red State, is filled with radicals?
I definitely don't disagree. But I would generalize this beyond Texas, there are many States that have creationism as a part of their "scientific" curriculum. Though yet again, what to expect when a plurality (almost half even) of the country believes in creationism, while the second largest group believes in intelligent design.
And school prayers aren't mandatory in many States only because the Supreme Court, a radically different Supreme Court back in the 60s, banned them. But 80% of Republicans still support praying in schools, and in red States where not praying makes you the outcast, the libtard, how likely are kids to break this norm? About as likely as Egyptian women are to not wear the hijab or not be genitally mutilated, both of which are by no means de facto required.
Now, I certainly don't disagree that all of these positions are very radical. But it seems that Republicans like them. That might suggest something about the American right, no?
