> what parties elsewhere in the world make the modern GOP look center-right?
Loads of examples; Vox (Spain), AfD (Germany) and whatever National Front (France) is called nowadays, all take harder stances and are pretty honest about their want for centralization of authority (for example), for better or worse. Golden Dawn (Greece) is probably a even stronger ultra-nationalist example, but they basically have no support after getting banned.
Although I will say that is seems almost futile to compare left/right between countries, we all have somewhat different understandings of it...
> how do they avoid the civil unrest the US is seeing
What civil unrest? I'd say things seem surprisingly calm and the population almost pacified. We're starting to see some smaller embers of something starting, but compared to how things could be considering the circumstances, it seems pretty idle.
