Ha! Points well taken, Mary. I don't think Heather was projecting, rather using her historian's lens to refer to the Party that Jefferson himself termed "Republican" when not employing "Anti-Federalist"

To one of your points, that of the fierce opposition to the minimum wage, I totally agree that this reveals the true colors of the Party wholly beholden to the corporate class. Here in California, we just raised the minimum wage for fast food workers statewide to $20 per hour. The squawking and bleating from the corporations rushing to bemoan their terrible fate is both funny and quite revealing.
