I think the critique of the policies gets swept up and put in the bucket together with alt-right ideological idioms, thus coloring it immediately.

I think US republicans are going into panic mode because a lot of the people who get punished for this are right wing adjacent, not very bright people, and they misinterpret this as their equivalents in Europe somehow getting suppressed.

So they try the same tactics as they know from home, asserting their rights, conflating separate issues, slippery sloping etc. And they freak out when it doesn’t work.
