What everybody is ignoring is “right wing”. There is never talk of “left wing”. Liberals and”progressives” are never identified as “left wing” and rarely even “liberal”. They just usually are, without any loaded label. Obama and his radical cabal are never called “left wing” or “leftist”. Only a kook or a divisive troublemaker would call them that. But RINO’s are extreme right wing.
Control the language and you control everything.
I don’t think you got the characterization of RINO right, and I am not talking about the meaning of.
