Instead of calling them “Progressive RINO Establishment Losers”, why not simplify it and call them “liberal Republicans”?
I think this expression would resonate with a lot of Republicans, both because it says what they are *not*, which is conservatives; but also because it aligns them with Democrat liberals. This clears up a lot of questions.
Then, again, we’ve lost the war on WORDS. Liberal IE: Liberty.
What to use in its place? Hard to know as Socialist/Communist has lost all meaning (just note all those ‘lovely’ Che shirts). Hell, I haven’t heard the phrase Republic from any of those in D.C. in AGES...Americans no longer have any concept of the evil and misery of non-Republic gov’t, outside of the latest war movie/etc.
