The good doctor was famously disgusted by Republicans. Negative assessments of Republicans and their nuttery is probably even more common in his writing than references to drugs, only outdone by his love of outrageous imagery.

'Republicans have never approved of democracy, and they never will. It goes back to preindustrial America when only white male property owners could vote.'

Thus explaining the Constitution Party, the Tea Party, the Patriot Movement, and Libertarian Party, because that's what it all gets down by their policies and philosophy. Everything they promote steals from all the other groups in society to enrich one portion. The GOP is just their organizing tool, and they have nearly outlived their usefulness to the oligarchs who want more direct control with no government or those pesky democratic ideas standing in the way.
