How the GOP's dirtiest slur got a new life

While the RINO term has been employed in some form for more than 100 years, its meaning has shifted over time. In previous decades, a Republican risked getting tagged as a RINO for supporting tax increases, gun control or abortion rights. Today, in a reflection of the GOP’s murkier ideological grounding in the Trump era, it’s a term reserved almost exclusively for lack of fealty to Trump.

  1. Someone else needs to take control of the GOP and simply remind people it's the part of smaller government, lower taxes and more personal freedom without official interference.
    But for liberals they can't see why a RINO who basically espouses Democrat positions while holding a GOP membership is not welcome in the party.
