In response to that idiotic Lee Atwater tripe about the "Democrat Party" with RAT emphasized

If they can drop it -IC to our side, I feel we can do the same.

Change the "C" to a "K" and then add an "L" before the -AN. Then emphasize the last part.

Now we have our name for them.

Keep saying it until DemocRAT Party is stopped.

KLAN seems to fit.

"Jews won't replace us."
"Close the borders."
"Build the wall."
"Black people are thugs."

Among many others.

It would make a difference if all the democratic elected officials started doing it! Unfortunately, we Democrats are more concerned with being genteel and taking the high road than fighting the war we're in the middle of.
