That "small bit" is the entire thing. The problem with the vox article is it's rating the Republicans based on their image (specifically their image with liberal media), not their actions. And you did the exact same thing. Are you even aware you did that? Comparing Republicans to Turkey’s AKP or Poland’s PiS is absurd on it's face, yet vox doesn't seem aware of that. And "Argumentum ad hominem" is not a valid rebuttal here, because every word vox says on this subject can not be taken as fact, yet you have quoted large sections of it. Even the study they have quoted can not be used, because vox chose the study to quote. Saying "vox isn't a valid news source for this kind of news" is another way of saying "you need to start over if you want to analyze Republicans", this vox article is not a valid starting point.
