Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsThe Republican Party today is not the Party of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, or Eisenhower.
They're the Party of Ted Nugent, Sarah Palin, and yes, Donald Trump. They're the Party of Right-Wing Junk Food - with flavors like brusque racism, angry misogyny, contempt for poor people and other "Losers," meat-headed anti-intellectualism, and just general all-around chauvinism and jingoism.
Our unworthy adversaries. Fuck these assholes.
