Pretty much my sentiments about the quality of your assessment.
For 1, we've literally got Trump saying that
he's a nationalist and his allies pushing
christian nationalism. The GOP, in general, has long had issues with nationalism and has been openly embracing nationalism in more recent years.
Democrats? Nothing even remotely close to that. Patriotism is not nationalism, either way, and the two get confused unfortunately easily because of how similar they are.
I suppose that requires understanding nationalism better than the link's decided to describe it, though. For a quick googled definition of nationalism, "identification with one's own nation and support for its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations." That's still not that great a description, but it's overwhelmingly better than the summation at that link.
2. Again, there's no actual honest equation to be had between Republicans and Democrats on this one. Republican administrations actively work to do those things, with the support of Republicans. Democratic Party administrations largely work to do the opposite and are pressured by Democrats to do the opposite. They don't succeed in undoing all the problematic policies, much less immediately, though. Take
torture as an easy example. More than 2/3 of Republicans support the use of torture. More than 2/3 of Democrats firmly oppose torture. This has led to Republican administrations making torture part of their usual policy and Democratic Party administrations banning it as part of usual policy. Democrats are far from perfect, of course, but trying to both sides this is utterly inane.
3. It's only when we reach the third one that we finally reach one where the bothsiderism isn't a total farce. It's still a really crappy comparison, though. On the one hand, we have the Democrats pointing to, for example, how Republicans are banning abortion, are working to increase inequality, and have been openly working to undermine democracy. Unification against an enemy! On the other hand, we have Republicans demonizing and fearmongering about various groups as they scapegoat them.
Again, the Republican Party fits 3 pretty much perfectly. The Democratic Party doesn't, but there is similarity that arises for other reasons.
4. This one's actually a bit complicated, on the other hand, and doesn't fit either party well. Republican support of the military is heavily related to the Republican Two Santa Clauses strategy. The Two Santa Clauses strategy is, in fair part, a way to attack Social Security and the like, though, so it does quite resemble the description of emphasizing the military while neglecting the domestic. That's been in play long enough that their propaganda pretenses have metastasized, though. The Republican Party has demonstrated well enough that they view the military as a tool to use to further their goals, either way, and are entirely fine with abandoning the tools when they're done using them. Veterans? Informants in hostile countries that the military made a deal with? Allies like the Kurds? The Republicans have shown that they're happy to betray and abandon them.
The Democratic Party has largely supported the military so the Republican Party doesn't really have grounds to attack them on that, on the other hand. Democratic Party policy largely tries to view our military as people serving the country, though, and goes from there. The Democratic Party is largely fine with the military being used to uphold the better principles that we aspire to, either way.
Supremacy of the military doesn't apply well to either, but the Republican Party's definitely much closer to the warnings about 4.
7. Qualitatively different, again. The Southern Border is just one really easy example of Republicans showily pretending to care about National Security, especially as it ties into 3. Trump is a national security nightmare, though, and like with many things, Republican policy worked to make things worse overall because they wanted the problem so that they could leverage fear to further their election prospects and other goals.
Democrats have been leverage national security fears to some extent, though, yes. Again, though, Trump is a national security nightmare. It would be idiotic to ignore that. A fair bit more could be said further along those lines for both, really, but, yet again, bothsiderism is rather inane here.
5 - Yet you didn't try to include it with the earlier bothsiderisms? Either way, qualitative difference is very much in play here. The Republican Party fits this one very well and the Democratic Party fits it rather poorly.
6. If so, not for lack of effort. Among what they already HAVE done so far, though, is effectively take over the radio, try to create state propaganda under their control, and create soft isolation bubbles for media consumption that have effectively controlled what evidence and information reaches disturbingly large amounts of people. The rise of overt censorship as a tactic on the right is hardly something encouraging for their future efforts, too.
8. The alliance between the so called Religious Right and the Republican Party has been rather open for a long time. The Democratic Party has long been far more in support of the separation of church and state.
Your attempt to hand wave this is inane.
9. Ugh. This whataboutism. It's just so bad. Here, easy tip! That in no way addresses whether the Republican Party's actions match this! As it stands, the Republican Party really, really obviously matches this one.
10. Hey! You admitted to the absurdly obvious! Good for you! You still had to qualify it, though.
11. Again, this just shows how out of touch you are.
12. Again, this just shows how out of touch you are. This one's a bit like the military one, though. Republicans have long relied heavily on "Law and Order" propaganda. This has helped secure the racist vote, given how it was used, and has led to authoritarians gravitating towards the Republican Party. It's Republicans who have been overtly supporting police brutality, not Democrats. Plenty more can be said to back that up, really, but there's not much need. That fits 12 perfectly well.
Like with the military, though, Republican adherence to this isn't about the principle. That is shown perfectly well with their treatment of Trump and many other criminals among them. The old truism about conservatives seeking rules that protect, but do not bind them, while binding and not protecting others describes this phenomena just fine.
Hence, it's a match, but there is room for quibbling on the surface.
13.
Jared. Ivanka. Lara.
There is indeed something to be said about the Democratic Party and cronyism. That in no way means that the Republican Party doesn't match 13, match it far better, or that the MAGA take over of the Party isn't making it dramatically worse.
To borrow from the link, though - "use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability." That harks back to 12 and pretty well removes that room for quibbling.
14. Honestly, I've become tired of this. Rather than listing off a bunch of things that show just how utterly inane your response is, yet again, I'm just going to point out that your response is inane and be done with it for now.
The Atheist, your assessment is a miserable failure that just seems to illuminate the depths of your blindness, whether it be willful, as it quite seems to be, or otherwise.
