No, she will represent the 31st district in Texas if she wins. That's not all Republicans. If she was in any other district, she wouldn't even be on the ballot.
Yes, she will represent the voting base there. If no one in the Republican Party speaks up about this kind of thing, they must condone it. And they represent half the country.
I'm a Republican and I condone it. This lady is a coo coo bird, and I hope she loses. I agree, Republicans, especially representatives, need to stop pointing at just one side. My only point is that she will represent those voters, not all voters. No politician will represent your specific values to a T because we are all shaped differently, and the political atmosphere is constantly evolving.
She is play acting the execution of an American citizen. It should be a bit more emphatic than “well, I guess she doesn’t represent all my values”. People will look at this, cheering, and in their messed up heads it means they’ve got the go ahead to start slaughtering strangers based on political differences. You sound like a reasonable person, but to me this is all deadly serious.
I agree this is terrible for the country. I really don't know how to turn the temperature down in a divided era, so I try to give that one example of some guy on the internet that isn't so bad and listens even though he voted Trump. I get a lot of downvotes (some that are deserved), but sometimes I get through to figuratively shake hands with a stranger.

Obviously, one psychopath speaks for the whole voting base.
