I'VE TAKEN TO USING THE WORD "TRUMPIST" AS SHORTHAND TO DESCRIBE A LOT OF THE FOLKS THAT HANG OUT ON THE "POLITICS" STREAM; IT'S NOT INTENDED AS A SLUR. IT'S MY ATTEMPT AT BEING PRECISE. SEE, I'M A MODERATE DEMOCRAT. I USED TO BE A CONSERVATIVE/LIBERTARIAN MYSELF. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF REPUBLICANS, AND I DON'T WANT TO THROW THEM UNDER THE BUS. HOWEVER, MOST OF THE GOOD ONES ARE DYING OFF OR ABANDONING THE GOP, AS TRUMP'S HOLD ON THE PARTY CONSOLIDATES. I TRULY HOPE THAT THE GOP ONE DAY RETURNS TO BEING A RELATIVELY NORMAL PARTY, AS THAT WOULD BE THE BEST OUTCOME FOR AMERICAN POLITICS. BUT UNTIL THEN, IMMA BASH THE TRUMPISTS.
