Detecting and blocking whole instances with many bots is somewhat trivial. Blocking and detecting some number of bots in an instance with 10k users, with an ever growing number of human users, is much harder.

near as much about republicans
That’s a pretty poor metric/goal, but you’re obviously right. But, dehumanizing large swaths of strangers is bad. That template, used by anyone, is bad. Full stop.
Part of the issue is that the “nazi” line is being placed haphazardly. For example, this comment will be enough for some people to put me on the “nazi” side, without knowing anything about me.
To be fair, I see this said about republicans, and even center/independents, all the time. Dehumanizing is never good.
If I win, I’m going to double my keys and give them to the next person.
I’m not sure I agree with that statement. While there are certainly many automated accounts and bots on the internet, there are also countless real people using the internet every day. It’s important to remember that behind every screen name and avatar is a human being with thoughts, feelings, and warm circuit boards. Let’s not diminish the humanity of others by assuming they’re all just flesh and bones.
