The Republican Party has long been a conservative oriented party against big government and executive authority.
But now, the Republican Party has embraced the authoritarian Donald Trump, and it gets worse that that!
It also embraces dictatorial state governors, who take away power from local counties and school boards.
This is true in the following Republican governed states:
Greg Abbott–Texas
Ron DeSantis–Florida
Doug Ducey-Arizona
Kim Reynolds–Iowa
Tate Reeves–Mississippi
Mike Parson–Missouri
Peter Ricketts–Nebraska
Kevin Stitt–Oklahoma
Kristi Noem–South Dakota
Glenn Youngkin–Virginia
