    What even is a Republican? Isn’t the US a two-party system? So everyone has to be classified with exactly two opinions? Not more and not less? Like I’m either Rep or Dem? Answer is: I’m neither. Not my problem that you can’t vote for neither but you don’t need to classify me as your two parties.

      Not really, there are two parties with political power, but people run the gambit of political ideology. In this case i am using “republican” as a derogatory descriptor, based on your wish for violence against people who are violent but don’t agree with you.
