Yes, the Republican party is controlled by the Democrats so they can use them as a threat. Makes perfect sense now, there's no other explanation.
The Democrats and Republicans work together to make sure you don't have any meaningful choice. The Republicans don't know that they're being controlled because they have only the politics of hatred and destruction. Democrats keep them around for the appearance of civility.
Saying the Democrats control the republicans is silly but saying that they use the republicans as a threat to stay in power is indisputable. They literally funded pro trump candidates in republican primaries under the assumption they would be easier to beat in the general election.
