Trump keeps praising dictators like Hitler and Kim Jong Un. Will Republicans ever care?
(www.usatoday.com)
Yes.
They care a great deal.
They too like assholes.

It seems like they don't back Trump despite him being a fascist, they back Trump because he is a fascist.
precisely.
yes. They definately prefer the alpha holes.
Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."
Republicans want autocracy, and always have. The people who invented conservatism were literally monarchists, FFS!
They care. They crave a discipline daddy.
They're in favor of it. Trump isn't some anomaly outside an otherwise respectable party, they're all fascists. The only thing different about Trump is he's worse at hiding it.
Fascists. Racists. Sexists. White nationalists.
Why would they grow a conscience all of a sudden?
Republicans believe in hierarchy. If that means placing a dictator at the top in order to achieve the desired hierarchy, then no. They’ll be fine with the means needed to achieve the desired ends.
They care in so much as that they would love to be aristocrats in a fascist society where they could have people killed at their whim with no repercussions. Rape and groom as they like using the leverage afforded to them by the first power. And rewrite history to their own imagination so as to never feel guilty about any of it.
If you still think Republicans will ever give a shit about anything Trump says or does, you should probably have a doctor look into whatever head injury is causing such delusions.
The crooks that run Trump financially just need him to win. He’s disposable after.
VOTE
Oh they do care, just in the wrong way ...
They only care about gaining power and impose their ideology, dictatorship be damned.
No most likely not.
Don’t be silly, those guys are still on day 1.
Nope.
