GOP figures laud Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s new sanctions as proof that only Trump-era Republicans can protect the hemisphere from communism, wrapping foreign-policy news in chest-thumping nationalist rhetoric. The people-versus-enemy framing and leader glorification fit the strongman, populist style that mobilizes support through fear and toughness.
