Many Democrats resent the right-wingers saying "Democrat Party" instead of "Democratic Party".
I do not think it is appropriate to call them the "Republican Party" anymore. They surrendered everything they once believed in as Republicans, or professed to believe in.
They are now part of the "Trump Party".
From here forward, we should stop calling them the Republican Party and call them the "Trump Party".
It suits them better.

(525 posts)Although the right wingers will wear it as a badge of honor. I call them the publican party. Publicans were the evil and hated tax collectors in the Roman province of Judea.

They won't even invite the "regular" Republican Club and local party, to their meetings.

(3,275 posts)I don't want anyone in the future to pretend that the republicans aren't to blame for all of this evil. When Trump is out of office, each republican will pretend that they were not on his side and fought against him. Trump is a republican president. He stands for what the Republican Party has become.

I am thinking that this could be catchy... all we need is a good logo. Anybody have any ideas
It looks like Trump is doing for the economy what he did for his companies.

(2,412 posts)I wrote to my US Rep. today about the threat of a War on Iran. I referred to the Trump Administration as The Trump Regime for the first time. it seemed appropriate and accurate and I think it perfectly describes his style of government. The US often uses it to refer to other countrys leaders as TheRegime. It just felt right.

(9,751 posts)Lets shorten Trump Party to TP. Smells like used TP to me. TP is the dingleberries.
It lends itself to some easy memes.

(3,462 posts)Call it out for what it is.
They refuse to utter the words "democratic" or "democracy".
They are demanding that those words never be spoken.
This speaks for itself, and I make a major point of drawing attention to it.
