The Republican Party is developing a new name for itself: the Denier Party. They deny the elections are fair. They deny climate change. They want to deny the American people of their social safety nets of Social Security and Medicare. They have denied women their rights - reproductive rights, right to privacy, right from undue search and seizure, and even the right to life itself. They want to deny LGBTQ the right to marry who they choose and love. They are denying child care support for families working two jobs to make ends meet. They are denying people like my sister with Type 1 diabetes affordable insulin. Let's deny all of them the right to represent us at any level - local, state or federal. Let's deny them our vote. We, the People, united shall not be defeated!

When the rural people are hoodwinked by the clown with a flame thrower, and feel that they can defeat the “educated elitist,” you know that the fat is in the fire. Common sense ain’t common when snake oil salesmen have the megaphone… Democrats had better scream loud and clear that repubs want to kill SS, Medicare, and Medicaid. It might wake a few…

It will be interesting how this plays out in Washington's third district since the R who will be running in the fall has talked about social security and medicare in a negative way. I hope the D uses what he has said which was used in the ads of his R opponent in the primary. I also hope she prevails because he is a death star endorsed nut case.

I like the reference to the Death Star... of democracy. It makes me think we need to use common film and movie references (and a lot of repetition) to capture the imaginations of the vulnerables who are so easily manipulated. I cannot believe I just wrote that...but I did. New. Desperate times call for new kinds of opposition to The Death party. The thing about non-repubs is that they also have a very keene sense of humor and it should be used-- like educational cartoons for adults. Fetterman's recent ad with a fetching, stand-up, real life-looking mouse talking about serious things on a microphone was so well done. It captures and holds you there during the entire message. (Well at least those who like cute, furry creatures, and even have something clever to say). NON-repubs need a marketing arm like that to get our messaging and history and importance of voting out...Anyone out there in the creative messaging videography business?

That’s why they have also developed the name of “the Party of NO”. My favorite is the Pro-Rape Party.

McConnell was the Party of No.

Trump is the Party of Nihilism.

Leonard Leo = Corrupt Courts

McTurtleneck also called himself “the Grim Reaper’” and took much pride in that name. Ugh…

He thought that was witty? Did that enhance him in some way?

The problem with Mitch is that he’s as smart as he is evil. He has no humor whatsoever.

Maybe embalmed, in a preserved evil way?

Totally agree! They are what they have always been.

Why don't we just call them the Fascist Party? Kind of absurd to call a party dedicated to the destruction of the Republic "Republican."

They are the party of death for all the reasons you have described plus more.
