hmmm, how do I explain this?
Political parties are not a race, not a species, not an identity, not a total absolute way of thinking, not everything. They're clubs. That's it.
Someone adding quotes to a word in a comment about Hillary Clinton (Hillz and her hubby, some obscure US president guy from 1993 - Jan 2001, were always known as Republicans in disguise, btw) isn't a declaration of party membership.
