ReThugs works for me, too, though.
If this were April, 1863 would you be complaining that rebel bastards ought to be called Confederate soldiers? If it were November, 1932 would you be complaining that Nazi scum should be referred to as National Socialists? Who are you helping with these posts criticizing Democratic supporters? Isnt that the number one rule, not bash Democrats? Were all Democrats, maybe. You are either too naive or too savvy. Framing means nothing to you after two years? You dont know what a concern troll is?
Either way, youre too much.

Using the term "Republican" is an insult to Lincoln, Grant, and Theodore Roosevelt.
