I'm not that sure that history will give a shit about US American Democrats or US American Republicans.
Those labels will be lost. "US American" concentration camps, disappearing citizens, ignoring court orders, death squads ... there will be no "oh that was just the Republicans"; it will be "oh that was just the Americans".
And they will be right to do so. The Dems are fully complicit in enabling this.
Partly... Look at the original Nazis. The nazi part is usually added to make the distinction with different periods - but for that period, the whole nation is referred to as nazi Germany.
Historians must naturally have a memory * curiosity factor > 4 years
