Let’s stop calling the GOP, “Republicans.”
Many years ago, Republicans and FOX News began a minor but very noticeable shift, calling Democrats instead “Democrat,” or the “Democrat Party.” It was intentional as many internal memos revealed to end implications that the Democratic Party was in fact, democratic.
