Statistic-wise, the Republicans have a near monopoly, actually. Something like about one quarter Muslim, nearly three quarters Right-Wing, and a slice of three or so percent Leftist.
Republican is not the same thing as right wing by a long shot. I'm assuming you unintentionally conflated republican with right wing extremist, but that confusion illustrates how the statistics can be misleading or represented in different ways depending on what story you want to tell.
In international political comparison, Republicans are right wing extremists. US Democrats are other countries equivalent of conservatives.
I guess if you aren't able to tell the difference between Republicans, libertarians, accelerationists, neonazis, etc then I'm not going to waste energy on you.
The differences are smaller than you obviously think.
Not in the context of this conversation they aren't.
