It's clear to even a passing glance that the current Republican Party is completely different than that of our parents and grandparents. It's similar in name only.
I've heard it put this way:
Today's Republican Party is made up of three classes.
1. Those in control. (The oligarchs, the One-Per-Centers, the corporations, the banksters.)
2. Their hired shills, (Politicians; the pundits; the media. Mercenaries who are being well compensated for their participation.)
3. The suckers. (The real people "on the ground" who are being tricked into thinking and voting in ways that serve class number 1. They are fooled with emotional triggers that get them heated up and blinded to what's really being perpetrated. Issues that are usually based around race, gender, birth choices, and all sorts of misrepresented "rights". Stink bombs. Trojan horses.)
I don't like the term "suckers". It has an unuseful pejorative tone. Sometimes "The Duped" is used in an attempt to be more conciliatory. I prefer "Victims". They are good people whose own better natures are being turned back to knife themselves in the heart. And they are coerced into grabbing the handle of the knife to help drive it in.
