"Republican".

Personally, I'm thinking: "fascist troglodyte"... but many
consider that an insult (no matter how technically accurate
it is).

Well, within the range of averages for decency, let's say.
Except for an accident of geography & history, I'd probably
be registered as a Republican myself, most of my family
considers themselves "hereditary' Republicans.

BTW what does HTH. HAND. mean?

Although most of my family have realized that the main-street-business
limited-government Republicanism is very much a thing of the past.

HTH is a TLA that means "Happy to Help".
HAND is an FLA that means "Have a nice day".

Well, once the KKK'ers and the witch-burners realize how
badly they've been fooled, they will go back to fielding
their own candidates (or smoldering in the closet) and the
Republican Party will return to more mainstream politavics.

Unfortunately, the last few campaigns seem to have shown
that the one who flings the most mud, wins... the Democrats
seem willing to play this game but aren't very good at it,
even when abetted by the comical misbehavior of a lot of
high-profile Republicans.

I hope the next few election cycles show that Agrown-ups can
win elections in this country, or else we are in for
troubles that will make the past 5 years look like a
footnote in history.
