What exactly does your post have to do with the ethical/moral standards of proposed advertising by the Republican party?? Nothing.
However - I'll answer in the hope you at least comprehend fact - whether you consider this objective/subjective...
Is there still some confusion over a nation where it's citizens can be held without trial, where torture is condoned and implemented with the full authority of the government upon a leader's decision, where it's OK to spy on citizens - where habeas corpus, being a fundamental concept in the Constitution, has been removed?
What would you call a nation which embodies these fine principles every nation should aspire to??
It matters little what you or I think on what "words" to use - many would define these conditions as a "police state" others may use terms like "banana republic", "dictatorship" or whatever - the elements are fact whether you like it or not. Fact is the truth - it's not a matter of opinion. Neither are the principles of a democracy a matter of opinion - excuses don't count.
PS "Dictatorship" would not be a way I'd describe the US - at least, not yet.
