Come on in to !gop@lemmy.world for news, discussions, and more about the Republican Party.
(FYI: The Far-Right and Trump-Lovers are not welcome here.)
In case you missed it - the far right, Trump, and his supporters ARE the GOP. Your version of the GOP has sailed a long time ago.
As an Australian, what’s the alternative? It doesn’t feel like this kind of hyper-partisanship is going to help anyone. Not that I’m trying to excuse the GOP, Trump or the Far Right. But disparaging people who are trying to pull the party back towards centre is only going to encourage those groups to flourish.
No, I’m not trying to promote tolerance of the intolerant either. But that community doesn’t exactly sound like they want to turn out like r/The_Donald.
I don’t know. The name feels weird. I could see calling your community,
- “moderates”
- “moderategop”
- “RINOs” (just like Trump’s supporters embraced calling themselves “deplorables”, non-Trump conservatives should probably ready themselves for turning enemies’ insults into their own battle standards.)
- plus RINOs also gives a decent logo idea for the community (the rhinoceros)
Oh! You could call yourselves
- “the slight right” or
- “right lite”
