The comment makes perfect sense, especially given the current political climate of the US and what Republicans are clearly indicating they want... Not sure what you are on about.
People who get lumped into broad categories don’t all agree on all matters.
Republicans have campaigned on discrimination, bigotry, sexism, establishing a dictatorship and punishing dissenters for the last 10~ years minimum - definitely longer than that considering the last century. If someone votes for a candidate campaigning on those things the voter is complicit in those things gaining strength. Stop writing off that behavior and hold them accountable for who they are clearly signaling they are.
