Stop the bleeding with Latino voters by stealing a page from the GOP’s playbook. Republicans have successfully (if ridiculously) associated Democrats with socialism and incompetent left-wing dictatorships in places like Venezuela. Has it not occurred to anyone to tie Republicans to aspiring dictators like Brazil’s radioactive Jair Bolsonaro? Now is the time to capitalize on the GOP’s long-running infatuation with right-wing Latin American strongmen like Chile’s Augusto Pinochet, and U.S.-backed military juntas like the one that ruled El Salvador in the 1980s. Helpfully, prominent Republicans are practically live-streaming their affinity for toxic authoritarians, including Fox’s recent decision to film Tucker Carlson’s white power hour in Brazil.

What links all of these reactionary ideas and tendencies together? They are all being pushed on an unwilling country by the zealotry of a cruel, radicalized religious minority that has thoroughly captured the Republican Party. Forget the anodyne ads promising to protect pre-existing conditions that dominated Democratic strategy in 2020 — Democratic candidates need a pithy way to describe this authoritarian hellscape, and a set of words and ideas to hang on every Republican candidate for public office. “Ultra MAGA” isn’t going to cut it.

What are Republicans today? Mom killers. Forced birthers. Bounty hunters. Gun worshippers. Religious radicals. Coup conservatives. Remington Republicans. What do they want? Iran-style theocracy. Gender fascism. A brutal tyranny where women are legally inferior and where people are constantly getting massacred by radicalized young men hopped up on Republican propaganda. The Wahhabi Wild West, where Republicans believe in the peaceful transfer of power only to other Republicans. One person, one vote, one time.
