Republicans Condemn Communism While Backing Trump

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

The Guardian has published a commentary examining an apparent contradiction in American conservative politics: Republican voters and politicians routinely denounce communism and socialism, yet strongly support Donald Trump, whose rhetoric and policies critics argue echo statist and populist tendencies they claim to oppose. The piece is prompting debate about ideological consistency on the American right and how Trump reshaped the party's traditional anti-communist identity.

Why now: Debate over Trump's hold on the Republican Party and its ideological contradictions remains a live political argument.
