RepubliKKKons have used first generation advertising techniques to mesmerize the 45% that doesn't read, that have never been outside their own trailer park or hamlet, don't have a clue about compound interest, think food is breaded, fried, then stored in a warming tray, and covered in gravy.
The right wing figures you call out came to popularity almost as a direct result of left wing extremism (which is an authoratarianism of its own).
And you cannot really skip over the fact that Trump rose to popularity calling out the excesses of gloablist neoliberalism and championing a form of economic populism that once would have been popular with much of the traditional/mainstream left. He also pretended to be anti-war.
I agree that Trump has taken an authoratarian turn, but there is something much deeper going on than right-left politics. In fact, if the masses could break away from left-right party bias, there's actually a unique opportunity right now to unite the populist dissidents on both sides (at least on foreign policy and some economic issues).

If your assumptions about republicans haven't evolved since 2016, you're not paying attention to what's going on.
I live in deep red trump country. I know all about RepubliKKKons. This was meant as satire; mocking the KKKult.
Satire - another thing RepubliKKKons can't grasp.
