Why don't Republicans call themselves "Republican Apartheidists"?

They all are. They advocate for racist policies. They believe in segregation. They want to live in a world of white supremacy. Many, if not most, desire to see other races eradicated.

Even if they aren't, we're going to call them that anyway.

What's the harm?
