Donald Trump is not a Republican. He is a Trumplican.
Currently “Republican” has two contradictory meanings. It could mean conservative GOP members or fearful irrationalists. All Republicans are being blamed for Trump’s actions. Using “Trumplican” allows citizens to attack Trumplicans, not all Republicans. Silenced Republicans want their name and honor back.
Let’s differentiate Republicans from Trumplicans, so the sheep and the goats can be separated during the next election. Congressional GOP members may have their spines recalcified. Trumplicans will embrace the title to enhance their loyalty credentials.
