Oh, for all this is holy! Stop calling it the Republican Party, or GOP!

The Republican Party of yesteryear no longer exists.

It died a long time ago, from moral turpitude, self serving freeloader members, and a general lack of working for the best for all.

It died, and no one noticed, but the empty space left behind attracted some unsavoury characters.

Call it the PoT, instead, the Party of Trump.

A party with only one figurehead and a host of mindless followers, and no consistent or detailed platform, with a desire to limit and control people, isn't a political party at all.
It's a cult, by any definition.

What we have now is the monstrosity called MAGA. It sounds like a disease, and in some ways it is. MAGA is a fascist cancer in American politics. It needs to be beaten at the Ballot Box and cut out of our society.

And when it seems appropriate, I call it the Gathering Of Psychotics.

As John Lennon could have said in "Working Class Hero", they're still fucking Nazis as far as I can see.

There are 3 parties:

* The tRump party

* The rump RepubliCons (never-tRumpers & never-again-tRumpers)

* The Democratic Party

After the election, keep driving wedges between the tRump and the rump.

Hillary had it right. The gang leaders are deplorables, as in immoral, dregs of society. But she meant the hardcore MAGAts, the leadership. They are Nazi to the core.

The entire political party apparatus needs a fresh label that fits its 2025 image, who they are and who they aspire to be.

Nazi Party is taken.

This is absolutely the Republican Party of yesteryear.
