    Yeah, no. Republicans and sharing are two words that won’t fit into the same sentence

      I think it’s a pretty good translation of the word; “Republicans” ostensibly would support a “republic”, which is governed supposedly for the common good by mechanisms which are not really explained or examined and definitely distinct from just letting people do whatever they agree on like under one of those gross dirty democracies. “Common harmony” captures the same good-vibes/no-plan energy.

      Of course, what they’ve got now aren’t even actual republicans, because, like their favorite model of Rome, republics love to become empires.
