As someone from Northern Ireland, the American usage always seemed weird to me
It made sense when the party was formed during the civil war. Republicans believed in a strong unifying federal government, rule of the Republic vs rule of the individual states.
I mean, it still makes sense, there’s nothing wrong with it, it just feels weird
Ehhh, in a modern sense they’re kind of on the other side. Trump is doing his best to dismantle the feds, after all.
