One of the criticisms of the Republican Party and the people that align with it and it’s prior iterations is that its existence relies on disenfranchising people. Removing their ability to vote. Whether it’s outright exclusion from being a voting citizen, or barriers to entry to vote, or subsequently stripping that right from people. From the beginning of the country till now. And when even that fails some want to dismantle the entire system outside of the prescribed process.
All parties have at some point added to mass incarceration programs and ways to remove voting rights from people, Republican Party right now are the ones that want to continue it as opposed to attempting to rehabilitate and create productive members of society as fast as possible.
There is only one other party with federal representation right now, so that is hard to reconcile for many, but the re-enfranchised people often support that other party’s goals.
