re: RINO is no longer a valid term

quote:

If you are conservative, you cannot be a RINO.

It goes against the literal definition of RINO.

Trump is a RINO.

Great way of proving the useless of the term RINO.

The truth is MAGA isn't Republican. MAGA are the true RINOs.

Republican post Reagan means wanting to intervene across the planet, a willingness to lose on the cultural side of politics to ensure American stability, and the need to seem compassionate while accomplishing goals. MAGAs are none of these things.

The only reason that MAGAs can't accept that they aren't Republicans is because the Republicans are the conservative power structure in place, so to reject the Republican brand is to reject access to power.

But it doesn't change the fact that for 50 years prior to Trump Republican meant a very certain thing that MAGAs don't support. Its one of those "if everyone you meet is an a-hole you are probably the actual a-hole" type situations.
